Left hand Charles Daly

[ohiosam]

Went to an estate auction today and low and behold there was a lefty Hawkin style percussion rifle. Its a Charles Daly/investarms. Ad never mentioned it was LH, auctioneer never mentioned it either. It has some handling marks and just a few minor rust spots but bore is excellant. Really didn't go there for the guns but I was interested in this one. It happened to be the second item sold and I got it for $125. Seems like a decent quality rifle, I'm anxious to see how she shoots. Anyone else have one?

First I've ever heard of them being made lefty. Good score!

Thank Pete, this bbl is fine so I probably won't get one from numrich. Now if they had a drop in .40...
