Good on Paul I used to keep a battery in the US .. a Musket, rifle ,long snaphance & couple of Scots pistols never re enacted with the S' hance , King Phillips war might have been . I was based in Massachusetts. But we did F&I as a group . Re the man with just one gun he will know how to use it ! I don't know any myself.

Love that left-hand jeager with the right side lock. What's the story on that one?
So glad you noticed this one. It was built probably around 1720ish. It truly is left handed with a right hand lock, as it has the cheek piece on the lock side and a sliding patch box on the opposite side. It’s 20 bore and the rifling is as good as new. Has a makers mark, but I haven’t been able to put a name to it as yet.

I had the same question! One lefty in a nice collection of "properly fit" weapons. : )
I'll assume that reflects many, many years of research and collecting.
Some photos

Well, I already asked about the doglock in the first pic. I took the Op's advise and contacted Loyalist Arms about the (3) Indian options. Those are all a month or more out. I have not made a decision, but; that photo did pique my interest. I do a lot more talking than buying. For those who missed that discussion: the OP's doglock is a custom build, while I asked about availability and options to me in USA.
I’ve put some pictures of the dog lock up for everyone
 
CosiTrike, if it is not too much of a bother, could you list which of your muzzle loaders are originals and which are modern replicas?

That is quite a collection, Rick. I think I am feeling a little envy.

Just happened to have these pictures on my iPad.
I thought that gun looked familiar and I realized that I have a picture of the lock side on my hard drive in a folder of original guns. Ha, no idea how long I've had the picture. I wonder if perhaps you had posted it at some point in the past. A gun builder friend of mine built a very similar jeager that was very possibly modeled after this gun. Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure. You may have got the picture from the vendors site before I bought it. It was also discussed some time ago on the British Militaria Forum
