    .50 cal Lyman Great Plains Bullet Zero

    I have an old CVA Hawken that someone gave me that I use sometimes for Whitetail Deer hunting here in the limited firearms zone in Michigan. This year I'm shooting 385 grain Lyman Great Plains bullets with 100 grains of Goex FF. What is a good maximum point blank range for this combination...

    Lyman GPR Flint

    I had one of those small, laser-cut looking flints on the GPR Hawken I built from a kit. I was shooting last weekend trying to find a good accurate hunting load so I could get the sights zeroed in and the flint was failing and even falling out. I had hammered a lead ball flat and made a wrap for...

    CVA .50 Cal Kentucky Pistol

    An old friend of mine gave me a couple of CVA guns he built in high school last September. A .50 cal Hawken and a .50 cal Kentucky pistol with a 10" barrel. I finally got some BP and took the pistol out for a workout yesterday. I had a paper target and a small steel buffalo target that I picked...

    .54 Cal Lyman GPR Flintlock Build - First Shot

    After spending about 3 years dinking around working on this build sporadically I finally got her finished last night and shot her today. Wow, I REALLY like flintlocks now! This is actually the first flintlock I've ever shot. I got back in the woods by myself and enjoyed shooting my first...

    GPR Build; Spot Stain Question

    I spent all weekend staining and sealing the GPR flintlock I've been working on forever. I used LMF American Walnut stain and 3 coats of LMF sealer. Yesterday I finally got to putting on the LMF oil finish and after 2 coats of that I used some 400 grit sandpaper to lightly sand and prep for...

    Chisel "Dammit" Moment In Walnut Stock

    Well, I thought I was done with the rough sanding on my GPR stock this weekend and ready to get to finish sanding. I noticed that underneath the lock boss there was a lot of extra wood that didn't blend with the forestock and buttstock after I thinned out each of them. So I started getting after...

    LMF Barrel Brown Carding

    I've been working on this flintlock GPR off and on for around 18 months now. I'm getting close enough to completion that I want to really push to get her finished. I recently was gifted a couple of .50 cal caplocks and after shooting them I'm really excited to shoot this flintlock. I started...

    New old guns

    Yesterday was my birthday and a guy who went to the same high school as I did came by and gave me 2 blackpowder guns. Both are .50 cal and both are CVA kit guns. A Hawkens rifle and a Kentucky pistol. Pretty awesome! The rifle has a great double set trigger, both of them are caplocks. He is...

    Lyman GPR Kit

    I've been working on this build for over a year, although I never seem to get enough time to really sit and get a lot done at once. I had hoped to get all the sanding done over the last 2 days but my plans didn't work out and I barely sat down to start working on it late last night and there...

    Lost Part - Lyman GPR Build

    I have no idea how I misplaced it, but I can't find a piece to the GPR build I've been working on very slowly for about a year now. I've been trying to be careful to keep everything together but somehow I lost the part that the breech plug hooks into. It has a tang that screws to the back of...

    Drawfiling Billboard off Lyman GPR Flinter

    Hi, I'm building my first flintlock from a Lyman GPR Kit. I found the "billboard" information on one of the flats of the barrel to be quite excessive and I would like to remove it. I have not started drawfiling the barrel yet, but I ran a fine mill file over the unwanted engraving and it seems...

    I've Contracted The Disease!

    My name is Steve and I wanted to drop an introduction post to say hello to everyone and to invite any sagely advice you all might have to offer me. My first real taste of the muzzleloader world was when I was a kid. My family spent all of our summers in northern Michigan around Mackinaw City...
