Stocked in walnut, trimmed in iron furniture, this Lyman Great Plains Hunter features a hooked breech, two wedge keys, double set triggers, and 32" barrel. The .54 caliber bore is bright and has been well maintained. The stock has a few minor scattered handling marks from field use. Based on the original Hawken plains rifle, the Lyman Great Plains Rifle has improved design features, with hidden modern improvements in the lock, and an attractive price, make the Lyman Great Plains Rifle a compelling value for the big game hunter or serious shooter. The Plains Rifle was carried across the Great Plains, by western pioneers and fur trappers. It was the culmination of years of firearms development. The Lyman Great Plains Rifle is similar to rifles built by the famous Saint Louis rifle makers, Samuel Hawken, Gemmer, and Horace E. Dimick to the meet the demands of experienced backwoodsmen. Trigger reach is 3-3/44" and weight is 8.8 pounds.

This classic muzzleloading rifle is fitted with a .54 caliber by 32" barrel, with 1 turn in 32" twist for a conical. The bore is bright, clean, and ready to shoot. The barrel is factory blued and stamped with all of the factory markings on the top flats near the breech. The factory rear sights have been removed and a fiber optic front sight is installed, the rear sight has been removed and the rear dovetail slot is open, the tang is fitted with a Lyman No. 57 peep sight. The No. 57 sight has a very small aperture fitted currently. Replacement apertures are the #RS-57-DISK-2L and #RS-57-DISK-2S.

The walnut stock is factory finished to a brown with a satin sheen finish. The stock has a few minor handling marks. The buttstock is fitted with a classic plains rifle steel buttplate to securely engage the shooter's shoulder. The furniture and barrel have all been factory blued. Our bottom view shows the classic iron toeplate, with beaver tail finial, and the iron triggerguard. Both are shaped in the classic style of the Hawken brothers, of Saint Louis. A Hawken style hooked breech engages a separate tang, for ease of cleaning after shooting. The hooked breech is easily dismounted for cleaning. Two wedge keys are fitted through oval iron inlays. After pressing out the two wedge keys from the forend, withdraw the ramrod, and lift the muzzle end to unhook the breech. This rifle features a correct iron ramrod entry thimble, and nose cap. The replacement synthetic ramrod is fitted with a brass cleaning jag. The rear tip is threaded to accept 10-32 cleaning and loading accessories. The oval cheek rest is raised to support the shooter's cheek.

The lock plate and hammer are color case hardened, in muted mottled colors, as original. The breech is fitted with a stainless steel nipple for No. 11 percussion caps. We stock the #RLGP-S, with 6-.75mm threads, for Lyman percussion rifles if you need a replacement. Double lever double set triggers are fitted, for target shooting, or hunting. The triggers are well adjusted, to allow cocking the lock, or setting the trigger, in any sequence. You may fire the rifle with the trigger set, for a hair trigger release. Or, fire this rifle with the trigger unset, for a firm normal trigger release, ideal for cold weather hunting, or youth training.
