Yes I have one in 54 Caliber and it shoots great. I changed out the front sight on it as the front blade was way to thick for my liking. I dont shoot it much but for the money its a very nice rifle.
Thanks BigAl52 ! Appreciate that.

I have had one since 1985, has killed many deer. Still shoots tight groups

My dad's ole elk rifle is a Lyman Trade Rifle in .54 calibre. The trigger is very smooth, great shooting gun. I'm, personally, best with a set trigger, usually a double set trigger. Yet I can shoot his Trade Rifle very accurately, due to the quality trigger.
He bought the gun new back in the late 80's early 90's timeframe.
Are these also made by Investarms for Lyman (or were they, previously)?
Mine's on order or should I say backorder? They took my money though! Took my TC out for the first time since fall. It likes Durofelt under Lee r.e.a.l 300gr. 80 grains Black MZ. I think Lyman will out shoot it.
Your a bit confused here friend.
Track does not have them available,, they are listed "back ordered",,
Track of the Wolf has never been a place that market's new rifles for sale.
I know them in a personal manner,, I live 45 miles from their shop,,
They will honor the sale without doubt,, but they are in line to get the rifle from that back-order just as any individual would by going Lyman direct

I just checked Track's website. I see the Lyman Trade Rifles as backordered: Track of the Wolf: Percussion Rifles
Maybe somebody already bought the ones they had (?). I did see a Leman Trade Rifle in stock, though, built by Doc White: Leman Rifle by Doc White
New rifles are selling fast these days.
Best regards,

i had an early lyman trade rifle. the early guns came with a 1 in 66 [?] round ball twist, was a nice rifle. got my first b.p. deer with it. oldest son has it now.
I looked on their site this morning, and both calibers were in stock. It sure didn't take long for them to be sold. Those guns were Lyman Trade rifles, both going for 499.99. I'm sure the Doc White rifle was more than that price.
I couldn't beat the price and free shipping. IF they ever get them in stock. Nobody has anything in stock these days---- except Dixie Gun Works.
From Sunday 3/27/22;
Uhm, they are closed Saturday's and Sunday's. They do not have an auto-feed to inventory stock while the business is closed. Nothing came into that shop,, nothing went out,, and nothing changed in their on-line inventory status from Friday pm till someone hit's "boot" somewhere's around 6am this morning.
If that is the case, I stand corrected. It's possible I got my days mixed up. Whatever. Posting something to help out on this forum doesn't seem to make much of a difference anymore.
I just called them and spoke with John, the last Lyman Trade Rifles they received was in Sept of 2021. They have 4 orders for them and those orders will be filled before the rifle is listed as available on-line.
That's the way they work, they will always satisfy back-orders first before offering more for sale.
Sharing info to help is a good thing,, if the information is true.
Rocksoild has shared with me that he's another local. I hope to meet him someday soon, perhaps over a beer at the SOB,

I talked to Track today. They don't sound optimistic about getting any Lyman rifles this YEAR. So I boxed up a beater barrel and sent it to Bobby Hoyt for a liner.
My first muzzleloader was a Lyman Trade Rifle .50 percussion. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it has a coil spring in the lock. Being my first rifle of any type it holds a special place on the rack. The wood is gorgeous.
I have several Lymans in various configurations. While I don't have a Trade Rifle, I do have Lymans with 1:48 barrels. All shoot to deer accuracy or better. My 54's like 100gr 2f under T/C 430gr Maxis. Other shooters here get good results using less powder than that. Your rifle will tell you what it likes.
