Lyman GPR

[S.Kenton]

Zonies advice is spot on, I’m getting ready to work on my GPR after Ohio’s muzzeloader season is over. Someone already worked on the fish belly, but some more Wood can come off yet, I’m knife edging the forestock where it meets the barrel, and reshaping the comb where it meets the wrist. Otherwise it’s a super solid rifle!

If you send your stock to Pecatonica to be copied what you'll get back is a stock of a different color with all the faults of the out-of-the-box GPR. If you don't take the time to do all the necessary reshaping of you stock before you send it to them you'll just have to do it afterwards. otherwise you'll just have a clunky maple stock. So, if you reshape your stock before sending it to be copied you might find there's a rayon ( a silk substitute) purse under that sow's ear. There are plenty of ways to refinish the walnut GPR stock that will enhance the look. By the way, if you're going to get a maple stock for your GPR you might as well go ahead and buy a Deerslayer trigger and RPL lock for it. No point in only going half way.
