I will soon be receiving a Plains pistol kit in .50 cal. I would be interested in the powder load for target shooting with round ball in this one! Also,...

Yes it does... I bought the kit from J C Penneys about 33 years ago... The only identification on the whole thing is the word, "Spain" on the barrel. It has...

Whoops, I read your original post to say it was a pistol kit, which is why I questioned the 32" barrel. My fault. Good luck with building it. You might want...
Hi Kees. I was beginning to wonder the same thing- haven't seen a good technical question in two weeks! I've just been building guns, trying to get this last...
Gary and I each bought a Lyman Plains Pistol kit recently. We have been shooting a lot and I have been pretty busy builting the pistol kit. Thus far, I'm...

I will be ordering a Lyman Trade Rifle soon and want to install the 57 sml receiver sight and the #17 front target sight. Has anyone dealt with these? Does the...

Hi Kees, The front sight on the Lyman drifts out to the right if the muzzle is pointing away from you, reverse to install. A little 3in1 oil helps. The tangs...

That brings back fond memories! I often shot a Hopkins & Allen Underhammer with a peep sight in my younger days. That was a very sweet shooting rifle. I seem...
I must like it, because it is the one rifle I haven't sold or traded of over the years. I bought it in 1968 from Dixie Gunworks. The only problem I have with...

My GPR came with the adjustable sight and a "primitive" non adjustable one. I was dissappointed with the quality of this rifle compared to one I bought 6...
I like the quality of the gun overall. The only rough spot is on the bottom edge of the butt stock. It does not mate up entirely with the brass furniture of...
The height of the 37 ML is .445". The 17AML is .494" but the catalog doesn't say how high the 17AEU is. It also doesn't state the adjustment range of the...
