.54 caliber in flint...

[Rollover Jack]

Greetings, All,

I have been looking for a pistol to be a companion to my GPR, but have yet not found one due to my being a nit-picker. :youcrazy: These would be the specifications:

.54 caliber so as to use the same PRB as my rifle.

Flintlock so as to not need both caps and rocks.

Hooked breech to facilitate cleaning.

Possibly a belt hook.

If the Traditions Trapper pistol was available in .54 and flint that would be much what I have in mind.

So, what would be the recommendations of the august members of the Forum? :yakyak:

Thanking you in advance for your ideas and insight.

Why not get a Lyman pistol? They match your rifle and caliber, and are also available as in kit form.

Mr. Frizzen,

I have seen these advertised, but I was not aware of any in flintlock. I do agree that it would be a very good match for my GPR.

Check Track's web-site. Not sure about flint--maybe in the kits.

Pedersoli makes a .54 Kentucky pistol and also in kit form. Check out Dixie. Doesn't have a hooked breech, but I don't think you need one....'course that is your decision. No belt hook either, but they are available separately, or make your own from an old spoon or fork, etc.

You could also get a belt hook from Lyman for one of their Plains Pistols and modify it to fit. Here is a link to their parts page:

Kentucky pistol, in 54 caliber for sure! But would you do a kit or do you need it made?

54 cal is a great round ball!

Zoar,

I may have to build a kit, although I would rather not. I can work metal fairly well, but the wood will probably turn out as if I held a beaver to it as a power tool. :cursing:

The Lyman Great Plains Pistol is not available as flintlock in either kit or factory assembled gun.

It MIGHT be possible to buy a percussion kit and a GPR flint barrel and lock, cut the barrel off and install it in the pistol stock....No, that's the right answer...
