    Love the Lyman great plains rifles. I have won over 50 State and Territorial titles using my 50 cal great plains rifle. I have also taken eight deer and six elk with the same gun. Good luck!

    Bought one of these years ago for my father. He has passed and never had the time to start the project, so I inherited it back...don’t remember if it came with a book. But your video in 3 minutes put my confidence level at 99%. Thank you.

    My Lymans GPR arrived today. I those this kite based on your videos. Thank you for all the detailed information. I am sure I'll have questions along the way.

    I bought the kit and it was delivered today! I'm going to add the same features on the buttstock that you did.

    This kit might be one that even I could do, AFTER seeing how you do it.

    Looking good Mike! If you haven't already shot a Lyman Great Plains, I think you're really going to like it. Looking forward to seeing the finished rifle.

      I had a .50 caliber in here for T&E for an article on the Santa Fe Trail. I liked it, but I thought it was a little barrel heavy in .50. This one is in .54

      Yes sir! I had a 54 caliber myself and even at that, I agree, they are a bit Barrel heavy. But all in all, they are nice. Thanks for the quick response.

    Thanks for the great video brother! Very helpful!

    Great videos, thank you for making them. I wonder if you could do a video explaining some of the differences in the rifle styles. You mentioned the Hawken as being more robust then the relatively fragile Pennsylvania rifle. I'd like to know why that is. Also, maybe discuss the various makers out there, both custom and factory, in terms of relative quality. Thanks very much!

    You make it looks so easy! I did a GPR kit one time and the results were NOT good!

    Nice update MB. How's the shoulder holding up to all the rasp and sanding?

    Mike, I was told that if I wanted to know how to build a flintlock, I should check out your videos. I was wondering if you have one that you would select for those of us on the poor side of town to start with?

      Gary Anderson I'm not sure what style is acceptable to you. If a half-stock is ok, the Lyman Great Plains rifle in flint is your cheapest, decent rifle. If you want a long rifle, I recommend a Jim Kibler's kit. It is about $1,000...worth every penny of it. www.jimkibler.net/kit-gun.html

    Have you ever tried a spokeshave to shape the stocks you work on?

  • @vengenaceearly255

    Hi Mike. Do you ever use a dremel tool for the harder to reach sections when doing inletting work ?
    Do you ever use a Dremel tool at all for this type of work? Thanks again.

    • @duelist1954
      @duelist1954  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can't say never, but it would be pretty rare...maybe if I had a real deep, narrow mortice that I needed to get into I'd use a 3/32" cutting head. Mostly, a Dremel just lets you make mistakes a lot faster. Doing it by hand give a better result for me.

      Thanks Mike good point- I will keep it in mind-- yes it does make you make mistakes a lot faster .

    I'm thinking of getting my first kit but don't really know what kind I want to start off on

      The one that Mike is working on is a dandy one. Other kits can some times have a lot more fit and finish to do. The Lyman is a lot more simplistic.

    Any advice how to get wood stain off a stock?

    • @duelist1954
      @duelist1954  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      mindakota1 Unfortunately, the only options are to sand it down until you get to clean wood, or stain the whole stock darker to cover it up.
