sources of lefthanded flintlocks?
« on: July 25, 2003, 08:09:33 AM »
Are there any non-museum priced sources of left handed flintlock:
canoe guns,fowlers,small bore rifles, smoothbore pistols? I'm looking for hunting equipment,not ornate/"museum grade"[and priced] firearms.S.N. I'm already familiar with TVM.
Thanks.

Lyman Great Plains Rifle is available in flintlock for left handed shooters as a production item.  Best prices I found a while back when one of my friends was looking for a lefty, was a MidSouth Shooter Supply.  I think it was about $10 to $20 over the right handed model.

I believe you can also special order the Green Mountain barrels in smaller calibers from them.

Cabelas.
Kit's and finished armes are available.
Dixie Gun Work's,,,,,,ditto,,,,
Track of the wolf,(kit's and part's)
all  bout 350$>
GPR maybe a tad less. caint hardly go wrong the that rifle. And mid west is the best price so far as I seen. Good luck with yer search,my son's a lefty,and resale prices are high also.Porperly cared for, the monies are well spent on lefties.

Thanks for the information.I think I'm going to give Larry Williams a call.
For plains type or 1/2 stock rifles,I'm set re percussion i.e.TC New Englander;I have a TVM Jaeger flintlock. Right now I'm -only- looking for lefthand,flint,smoothbores[long gun and pistol] or a lefthand/flint/flat butt/small bore[36cal] rifle.
One caution re TVM-they glue[epoxy??]their nosecaps.I had one fall off.
This isn't for me,an acceptable practice.Nosecaps ought to be pinned or screwed on.
