Lyman Trade Rifle

[nit wit]

Last fall I bought this rifle in .54 cal. It's a flintlock made in Italy in 2021. I took it to 3 gun shows and had a price under $500.00. It didn't sell. it has a cut flint in it and it sparked well. Single hunter trigger and fixed sights. I loaded it with 70 grains of 3F per volume. .530 round ball and a .15 patch. I decided to give her a try. I loaded, spit for lube. 25 yard swinger, hit it both shots. I guess this is a keeper as I will hunt with it this fall.

Yup, love mine. Just wish it was flintlock.
