Looking for good Left Handed Flintlock
Hi folks,
Looking for recommendations on a left handed flintlock. I like the idea of a removable breach plug for ease of cleaning. I really like the TC Firestorm, but I don't believe they make a lefty.
I've been shooting flintlocks for many years and have a very nice Charles Daily, but it has a 1 in 66 twist. Only good for round balls. Looking for a 1 in 48 to shoot other types of bullets.
Thanks for any info.

Re: Looking for good Left Handed Flintlock
Being a lefty sucks don't it?
I use a Traditions Pa pellet flintlock. It can use pellets or powder. 1:48 twist.
I think the Lyman Deer Stalker (?) is also available in left handed.FUCK BIDEN

Re: Looking for good Left Handed Flintlock
Have you ever tried shooting maxiballs or some other conical out of your rifle? You may be pleasantly surprised with the accuracy at what I consider to be "flint lock" range. That is less than 100 yards in my book.

Re: Looking for good Left Handed Flintlock
Yea I have tried them, but with the slow twist of 1 in 66 they didn't stabilize well and were all over the place at 50 yds.
Anyone know a custom barrel maker that can produce a removable breech? something I can fit to my existing stock and lock.
I stopped in a shop last night and looked at a Traditions lefty. The trigger pull was terrible. My current gun has a set trigger that makes the second trigger very light. I really like that trigger.

Re: Looking for good Left Handed Flintlock
Well I may have found what I am looking for.
I checked the Traditions Web Site and saw the PA Pellet series. They have a LH, double trigger flintlock with a removable breech plug. They also have the single trigger, but I may have to have that worked to lighten the pull.
I've never seen a Traditions with a removable plug. Hopefully this will be a good solution.
