I like this guy. he doesnt make like he shoots one inch groups at 800 yds. very realistic videoes and he is a funny bas-tard

Aaaah, thanks my friend.
I can't even see a target 800 yards away unless it is a barn door..
Couldn't hit a barn door either....LOL
Here's proof of a target a lot closer:

wildman good shooting offhand got it on the second shot lol

I picked up this one up new from someone who bought it an never shot it. And at a great price!! The factory finish was thin and spotty. I refinished it, polished some of the steel parts and rebuked the trigger guard, butt and toe plates to a nice color. Super rifle!!!!

Really nice, what did it set you back?

 

[Packrat]

Great that you replaced the front sight with a thinner one. I had to mill mine down as it covered the entire ten ring at 100 yards. Never could see where I was shooting

 

[skwerleater]

Yes, i has the same problem with the thicker front site. Had trouble drawing a fine sight picture. May have to switch it back as my eyes age but I definitely improved with the thinner sight

You would have an easier time hitting it than I can.
That's a Purdy small target!
Thanks for wearing it my friend....

Well, here you go: .490 PRB and 75gr Schuetzen 3F (I think .18 pillow ticking with a .10 lubed overpowder patch). I used my Lyman .50 percussion GPR (in your honor, BPMS ). This was only from around 30 to 40 feet probably, but I had not shot the rifle ever yet. It was pretty spectacular- the face of the button went flying up in the air and behind the rest of it. The metal part stayed pinned to the backstop. I am going to put it back together and wear it proudly on my powder horn strap, again.

I wouldn't mind a chance at the 54.

I have one and it is lighter weight and balanced well.

That's one TOUGH button my friend!!
I LOVE it.
Thanks for proudly wearing it.
That should strike up some unusual conversations...LOL

 

[smoothshooter]

over all the rifles I have seen listed for sale on this great forum, rarely do I see a Lyman or Pedersoli great plains for sale. I guess that says once someone buys one they like to keep hold of it.

I would guess that at least 25% of all traditional muzzleloading rifles in use today are the Lyman GPR’s.
used ones are not hard to come by.

we are ALL Black Powder Maniac Shooters!

I built a .50 and a .54 Investarms kits in the early ‘00’s. Theyre place is with my 1900’s French fiddle and Martin HD-28. Not leaving in my lifetime!

 

[Dirty Mike]

Great shooters for sure I have one in 54 but it's now post in classifieds. I have several so looking to move it along for other projects

 

[frankie]

Well Im cheating but had to do it. I took one of my lyman great plains and pulled the stock off. Im restocking it with a nice piece of wood, "black walnut". If I can do this I think I could do a Hawken rifle kit from pecatonica.

I've got several and really like them.

Having several rifles that are all the same makes one a hoarder not a collector

I picked up the hoarder disease. Just like a virus, I got it and didn't see it coming.

yes I will. Im about half done.

My GPR .54 (bought in 1988) & my Pedersoli maple Hawken .54

edw. I really like your maple stocked Bp. Im wanting to order one but I'm afraid they may send me one that is only half figured. Yours is great.
