Title: Looking for Great Plains rifle
Post by: Bryce on September 04, 2017, 01:07:23 pm
Looking at purchasing a GPR you guys know of a good website to either purchase a kit, parts or even just the completed rifle? Just looking for suggestions or if you have one you wish to let go maybe we could work something out;)

You can shop around and find the guns and kits at a bargain, cheaper than dirt had a good sale on the kits a while back, $350 or so but sold out quickly.

I will take a look and see what I can find.

Last time I looked Midway USA had the lowest price but they are inline with everyone else now.

Bass distributing has the flint version for; Your Price: $482.96. These things have really gone up since looked last. Gunbroker has a bunch of them but you have to be careful on used, someone's listed shiny barrel could be pitted and roached in my evaluation.  They come up pretty often on the M/L boards classified, usually for around $350 or $400.

Best price I found for a new one in .54 is on Gunbroker, $475 shipped, item item # 686351616. This is a percussion gun but they have the same in flint for about the same price.
