I have always wanted to try a lyman great plains rifle {flintlock}, having used a thompson center for years. Any reason why I should'nt buy one? I know the twist favors round ball use but that's not a problem. thanks for any advice, grizz.

  Don't know why not,just would wonder why?The Thompson is one of the best out there IMHO....and round ball shootin IS great isn't it? Just my 2 cents......L.H.

  They are decent. If you want a Hawken look a like, one was made in Italy by Uberti several years ago and marketed under at least a couple of names, Santa Fe Hawken was one. A nice used one can be found for under $200.

  Thanks for the input, I guess I should have been more specific. Is the lyman great plains more accurate than the thompson 50 cal? I like the looks of it, so I guess if it's a good shooter I'll probably have to fill my need. Thanks again. kypdaynttw. grizz.
