Lefty muzzloaders
« on: December 11, 2009, 02:43:55 PM »
I mainly shoot at rondys and have been shooting a lefty Traditions 50. for a number of years. I am wanting a small bore (.32 or .36) for some squirrel gun shoots but can't find one that is a lefty. I am almost positive I have seen them befor but can't remember what company/s made them.  

Is any company still making them or am I going to have to find a used one or kit that is sitting in someones closet?  Could someone point me in a helpfull direction.

Lefty's gonna be tough, especially in those cal. There are so few lefties made and enough lefty shooters that most barrels are still being used, my son shoot's left,(cross dominate). I think CVA made a few but are rare.
Your looking at custom components for around 200-225 then labor too assemble. Or a gunsmith with knowledge of BP rifles could swap the drum breech to the left side on an existing barrel for around 100 if ya find the right guy, most gunsmiths are gonna be nervous about pressure issuse's.
 Call, Deer Creek Products ( no web site) that's where we got Dustins Traditions lefty, 765:525:6181 they have all the Traditions and CVA stuff ya could possibly hope for.
found elsewhere

Thanks necchi, thats what I figured. I have been pondering building one myself but I am not exactly a patient person and doubt my abilities to start from scratch. I will look into Deer Creek.

Its late but a few sources produce drop in barrel assemblies for some production guns.  I believe the CVA and Lyman traditionals are covered.  I found a .32 dropin for my Deerstalker 54 left flintlock.  I'll dig up the links tomorrow.
