Who has the best price on them Go to Dixie Gun Works and look at their offerings. Also look at Mid South Shooter Supply and/or Midway for the "Lyman Great Plains Rifle" It is longer 32" oct. barrel available in .50 and .54 calibers, kit or complete rifle, percussion or flintlock. You can buy them in either 1-28" or 1-66" twist with the 1-66" being for round ball only. In my BP days I used these rifles for hunting and competition to good success. They are not really a true "Kentucky Rifle" pattern, but are considered by many to be a very accurate replica of the general long rifles of the day.Will last forever and mine were very accurate once you find their loading "sweet spot". ymmv |

You get what you pay for.
I would suggest attending a rendezvous or the NMLRA National Shoot this coming June to see if you can find a second hand one. |

I actually found a .50 cal percussion great plains rifle at a pawn shop yesterday for $150 otd it looked brand new, never fired. I had the money as fast as I could but I luckily slowed down and checked the gun out and it's previous owner some how put the rear sight in at an angle and caused two hairline out of the dovetail and then glued the sight down with epoxy.

Sorry didn't notice I forgot to mention the cracks in the barrel from the previous owner driving the sight in incorrectly

No its still in the pawn shop, the cracks were small and not deep in the barrel. I offered the owner $20 to knock the rear sight out and let me examine it closer and if it wasn't too bad I would take it but he refused so without knowing what kind of a mess the dovetail was in I didn't want to make a $100 gamble
