    Lyman Great Plains Hunter question.

    Ha. I just looked at my GPR and it's the same way. I've had the gun for years and never noticed that before. I guess the inletting is just not done all that carefully?

    San Diego?

    Yep. I live in San Diego. I shoot at Rainbow Range up near Temecula. Mainly my Lyman GPR and a couple Pedersoli muskets. I have a number of C&B revolvers, but haven't shot any of them in a while. What BP gun(s) are you staring with? Joe

    Any Lyman Plains Pistol fans here?

    I enjoy my .54. Especially when I want to do some BP pistol shooting, but don't feel like cleaning a cap-n-ball revolver.

    Seal new GPR stock?

    When I got my GPR, I removed the barrel and all the furniture and applied several coats of Tru-Oil everywhere. I thought about doing a complete refinish but it looked like it was going to be a lot of work to strip the factory finish, so I just did the Tru-Oil.

    Slimmed Down Renegades?

    Yeah, it's called the TC New Englander :haha:

    Lyman Great Plains Rifle questions

    I like solid brass range rods. October Country sells a number of nice ones, as does The Possible Shop (I own rods from both these vendors).

    Speaking of Lyman GPR

    I bought my .54 GPR a couple years ago.The stock is okay, but nothing special. Pretty sure it's walnut and the Lyman website still indicates such. It's stained pretty dark. Likewise, the metal polish and bluing is acceptable, but nothing great. Wood to metal fit is good, the double set trigger...

    Pedersoli Replacement Parts

    The S&S rod is $53 shipped but for $20 more, I went with the OEM to ensure a good fit. I will look into fixing the broken rod to use as spare. Is Mapp gas hot enough to do a repair on this?

    Pedersoli Replacement Parts

    Thanks for all the help. Pedersoli Italy responded to my inquiry and suggested I contact Mr. Beauchamp of Flintlocks, Etc., as did several of you good folks. I have done so and placed an order for a replacement Pedersoli 1861 Springfield ramrod. Turns out it was a $72.95 mistake...

    Pedersoli Replacement Parts

    Hi Gus, Yes, the Pedersoli rod has that bulge. The damage is just below that point. See photo at link. http://s12.photobucket.com/user/joe4702/media/Pedersoli%20Ramrod/P1010323_zpsm4jza4ex.jpg.html Was hoping I could get a replacement from P., but if not, I'll take a look at the sources you...

    Pedersoli Replacement Parts

    I ruined the ramrod on my NIB Pedersoli Springfield 1861. Anyone have any luck getting factory replacement parts like this from Pedersoli (or another source)? So far, no response to my inquiry through the Pedersoli website. I bought the gun from Cabelas mail-order. I was doing my typical new...

    Where to get #11 caps?

    Sportsmans Warehouse in Phoenix (the one near I-17) had CCI, Remington and RWS #11 caps this weekend, as well as RWS musket caps. I mostly use #10s, but bought two tins of #11s to try as well as 2 tinsof musket caps. I resisted the urge to clean them out as I already have a decent supply and...

    How many do you have?

    My standard answer to that question is "More than I need, not as many as I want." :wink:

    TOTW Shipping!

    Their shipping prices have definitely gone up noticeably. I decided to re-order 100 510gr. Minie balls and the shipping was over $18, which works out to about $2.50 per pound. I know it wasn't that much when I ordered them last year. I tried adding 2 more bags (50 more rounds) to reduce the...
