I have a Lyman Trade .54 and I love it!!! It fits me great, and shoots beautifully! Its my go-to hunting rifle.
just order a lyman deer stalker 50
I have GPR in .50 cal with fast twist barrel and bought the .54 cal slow twist for round ball. Both barrels shoot very accurately. Its great that you can have one gun and drop in another caliber barrel. First thing I did when I got this gun was to put 5 coats of oil finish on this gun and the grain just pops. Nice looking wood thats hidden on the factory finish.
I found the factory finish on my GPR to be a bit dark and "muddy". It cleaned up fairly well after removing some of the factory finish/stain with alcohol and 4O steel wool. After a final wipe down I finished it with a mix of 100% tung oil and Tru-Oil. The grain actually looks pretty good after cleaning off the excess stain...Any particular brand of oil finish? Would like to see for myself as the factory finish is kind of drab
