My Trade Rifle arrived!

[mcawful]

After much deliberation and exhaustive research, I decided to purchase a LYMAN Trade Rifle in .50, percussion from
www.dnrsports.com
(thanks again for that link, cayugad)

I can't express how pleased I am with the fit and finish of this rifle. The stock is gorgeous and the fit of metal to wood is what I would expect from a much more expensive rifle. I love the heft of it. At 8 lbs , you can tell it ain't no toy!

Can't wait to get started!
Thanks to all who offered advise in earlier posts. Thanks especially to cayugad, frontier gander and sabot loader. I leeched alot of info off of you guys, just by reading your earlier posts.
Alleyooper, thanks for the insight on the .... sight. Among other tings, I've gleaned much needed knowledge from you, too.
Thanks Again.
If I could get a pic to fit, I would post it, but you all know what a Trade rifle looks like.

I am sure you will really enjoy your percussion Trade Rifle. They really are a nice shooting rifle, and a pleasure to shoot. You be sure and let us know how well it does.

Thank you for the kind words, didn't do much at all.
Ya people have seen trade rifles but not yours. Open an acount at www.imagestation.comand upload your picture there. That site will down size it for you to a suitable size.

Have fun with the new smoke pole.
