    Lyman Deerstalker Custom Carbine LH .50 cal

    Hello all, I have been wanting to get into muzzleloading for awhile, but post Covid and a new season here in Montana made finding a LH muzzleloader a bit difficult. I was fortunate to find a local guy that was selling a left handed Lyman deerstalker for a reasonable price and jumped at the...
