Interesting looking rifle! Is the lock rusted by design?

Wow, thats surprising to leave it so rusty.

 

[Alexander Efremenko]

For whatever reason, the photo makes the spot more vivid. The metal is smooth ,not scaled or rough.

Could this be fired easily from the left hand? I see there is a cheekpad for right handed.

 

[Carney Pace]

YES, if it has no cast off. This throws the recoil into a left handed shooters cheek.
I am left eye dominant.
I have been shooting right handed flintlocks for 50 years and that is the only problem I have found'
NO cast off!

As am I, right handed but left eye dominate I can shoot right handed but its unpleasant after a few minutes of eye strain, would this be a solid pass on the rifle then?

I'm not sure if you mean this gun has cast off or not and how that would effect me a left shooter.

It probably has at least 5/16 cast off.

The Emigs built a rifle for me last year. I doubt they could replace that rifle for you for the price you are asking. Between my Cabin Creek rifle and two other MLs I bought over the last year my wallet is too light, else I'd love to own your rifle.

Could I get a picture of the stock from above?

 

[Carney Pace]

If it has cast off it probable would be un pleasant to shoot. If it is straight stocked it would be fine. I have owned several left handed flint guns over the years, having shot right handed flint for so many years a left handed gun is awkward for me.
No cast off for a left handed shooter using a right handed flintlock

Oh well! Beautiful rifle and I would actually buy it instantly if it wasn't the case. I have a very long neck and arms so its already an uphill battle with normal full sized rifles without cast.

Did they build this rifle or just tune the lock? Flintleather
