Here are a few pictures of the 24+ year old Lyman I just got today. .58 Caliber, very little rust. I did a somewhat thorough cleanup today when I got it home but I think later on in the week I am going to really go through it and try to get it squeaky clean. I can't wait to shoot it! I still have to order a nipple for it

Question. Does it say Lyman anywhere on this rifle? The reason I'm asking is that I have a similar rifle in 54 cal and it is made by the manufacture who makes firearms for Lyman, but the Lyman name does not appear on it.

Bugle: I remember seeing that patch box pattern on the early Lyman BP rifles.In fact, in one of the Lyman ML handbooks, I think there is a picture of John Wooters with that style of rifle and a whitetail. Nice find!

Very Cool great find. I have one in 54 cal but 58 would punch a bigger hole. Something I just like about the 58cal I had one in a Mississippi & Zuove (sp) but they got ripped off. I also belive Cabelas had one in 58.

Thanks guys! I was going to get a .54 but I found this and the guy was wanting to get rid of it!

Exit - Yes it says lyman on the barrel

Bill- Yeah, I am guessing they quit making this model a while back!
