Weight of Lyman .54 Great Plains Rifle

[Darrell T]

Can anyone provide me with the weight of a Lyman GPR in .54 cal? The sources I can find list the same weight for both the .50 and .54 which doesn’t seem correct.
I have a .50 and it’s a bit too heavy for me due to a shoulder injury. I am hopeful that a .54 barrel would shave enough weight that I can comfortably shoot this rifle once again.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

You're not going to notice the difference in weight.

Thanks you so much!!! My .50 is 9 lbs 2 oz. Both my TC Hawken and Poorboy are 8 lbs 1 oz and they are just about perfect. Any heavier and I start having problems. I really don’t like shooting the TC as it hits me on the cheek pretty hard.

Looks like black powder Bill was right.
