    GPR .54 or.... ?

    So I sold my .54 percussion because I wanted a flinter. I'm leaning towards a GPR .54 Kit. If it were you, would you go with a GPR or is there a better rifle suggestion out there. I'm not set on the GPR, but I don't want to spend a ton extra... Let me know...

    Accurate Michigan ML?

    Thanks for the well thought out reply. I guess this subject is hard to nail down. So far I am guessing that it would be closer to a Pennsylvania type rifle. Could be either flint or percussion. Probably a rifle brought with them or bought in one of the colonies.

    Accurate Michigan ML?

    Well Van Raalte came to the Holland area in 1847. I was hoping to find something a little earlier... Not sure if the Reverend brought one himself... I will have to visit the museum...

    Accurate Michigan ML?

    I'm just interested in what was used in the territory at the time. Nothing set in stone.

    Accurate Michigan ML?

    Thanks for the reply. By the time settlers reach Michigan were flints still used or were they on the decline? I already have a Lyman GPR, but I was thinking about a .32 or .36 in flint. I would like it if it was local accurate... I know it's a hard question... Chad

    Accurate Michigan ML?

    I found this on Sitting Fox's website. http://www.sittingfoxmuzzleloaders.com/k/K38%20Mich-I-Gun%20Halfstock/K38%20Mich%20I%20Gun%20Halfstock.htm It looks like a juiced up GPR to me. Wondering what the guys used back in the day...

    Lyman GPR .54 for Small Game?

    Would it even be worth it with the reduced load? Shooting a tree rat with a .54... Would there even be anything left?
