This classic muzzleloading rifle is fitted with a .50 caliber by 32" barrel, with 1 turn in 60" twist, and deep rifling grooves, ideal for patched round ball target and hunting loads.The bore is bright and has been well maintained. The barrel is fitted with the factory steel blade front sight and factory elevation adjustable rear sight.
The walnut stock is finished to a dark brown. The buttstock is fitted with a classic plains rifle steel buttplate to securely engage the shooter's shoulder. The furniture and barrel have a dark blue finish. 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. This rifle features a correct iron ramrod entry thimble, and nose cap. Two tang screws retain the hooked breech plug's tang. The top flat of the barrel is marked - LYMAN - MIDDLEFIELD, CONN - in antique style block letters. The diagonal flats are marked GREAT PLAINS RIFLE and the caliber, serial number, and proof marks. The oval cheek rest is raised to support the shooter's cheek.
The lock plate and hammer are color case hardened. 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. We stock the #RLGP-S stainless No. 11 nipple, with 6-.75mm threads, for Lyman percussion rifles.
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.
