Lyman Great Plains parts?

[Buster95]

Now that the new Great Plains Signature Series are made by Pedersoli parts for the "regular" ones are still available?

The Investarms rifle is still being sold under a different label so Investarms is still making parts for sure.

Lyman never made rifles. The original Lyman Great Plains were made by investarm. Investarm currently makes the exact same gun labeled as the Investarm Gemmer Hawken. Investarms also made a bunch of the cabelas labeled rifles. Google investarm parts and you’ll get a dozen sites to choose from.

No problem with parts. You can find them in multiple spots. Recently I have ordered lock parts from the Lyman site itself as well as Track of the Wolf, probably others.

The "old" ones are better than the newer (not Pedersoli) production, the one I'm interested in as the code AS so it was made in 1987 if I'm right.

Very nice... I've been looking for more info like this... I just bought a .54 (coming in the mail) and it's a very nice condition stamped "AM" which from what I can see in my reading is 1984... Which I also believe that the 80s .54 GPRs were 1 in 48"?

The Great Plains Rifle has always been 1 in 66 twist. The Great Plains Hunter is fast twist. The various other Lyman/Cabelas/etc models made by Investarms mostly all had 1 in 48 twist.

I believe the 'Signature Series' by Pedersoli are the ones with 1 in 48 twist.

I had thought as well, that but in post 20 here, according to Lyman themselves, the .54 GPR was in fact a 1-48” from 1980-1990.

I’m anxious to check my 84 and I’ll report back.

I heard pedersoli signature series and lyman great plains that the parts wont interchange. Is that right?

 

[Grenadier1758]

That's true. The Great Plains Rifle is manufactured by Investarms and the Signature Series is manufactured by Pedersoli. The parts are not interchangeable.

Earlier Great Plains rifles had 1 in 48 twist. I have owned several.

Yeah, it's been discussed.
