Has anyone had experience with the Lyman Great Plains Rifle? I once used a Thompson Center Renegade in .54 cal percussion, and I would like to switch to a flintlock. The Lyman Great Plains series looks like a very good, authentic Hawken style muzzleloading rifle in the traditional Hawken style.

Have I ever shot a flint before? Well, no, but practice makes perfect and I like to shoot, so I don't think it will be a big deal. I am strongly considering purchasing a new .54 cal Lyman Great Plains in flintlock for the upcoming muzzleloading season.
