One of the best ways to get a real hands-on muzzleloading experience is to build a rifle yourself. Easy to read instructions guide you through the building process to a beautifully finished product. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than knowing you built a fully functional rifle for shooting or display. 

The rifle carried across the Great Plains by western pioneers and fur trappers was the culmination of percussion firearms development. Originally designed and built by such famous makers as Hawken, Gemmer and Demick, the Great Plains Rifle represents the most reliable design and finest workmanship available. No other factory-assembled rifle or kit offers the authentic style and impeccable design of Lyman's Great Plains Rifle.

This classic muzzleloader offers legendary, high quality features such as a 32" barrel with 1 in 60" twist for patched ball and hunting loads, double set triggers, and Hawken style percussion "snail" with clean out screw. The rifle includes a separate ramrod entry thimble, nose cap and reliable coil spring lock with correct lock plate. Lyman's Great Plains Rifle Kit comes in a .50 cal. Flintlock. The finished Lyman Great Plains Flintlock Rifle is an attractive, traditional muzzleloader that is rugged, well built and meant to last.
