Lyman Trade Rifle

[Rob DiStefano]

i might wanna replace the trade lock - is there a better quality replacement that's a drop-in fit?

Not exactly a !00% "drop-in", as the lock mortise will need "deepened" a bit.......

trade rifle arrived today ... very nice.  

i like the ease of removing the barrel for proper cleaning.  

don't particularly like the stock's cheekpiece - anyone reshaped that off, and rounded over the top of the stock a bit?

I've never had to reshape the cheekpieces on my rifles, because their stock's design had adequate "drop" to feel comfortable.
However,.... I do know of a couple of fellas who have re-worked (or completely removed) the cheekpieces on their newer designed "straight" stock muzzleloaders.

FYI - it's the L&R RPL Model #5 flint lock that retro fits to a Lyman Trade Rifle.
