I own 18 muzzleloaders, all caplock! Some left and some right handed. I shoot my right handed percussion rifles left handed and have never had a problem. Now, to get to the point! I have decided to give flintlocks a try and am wondering if I can shoot a right handed rocklock left handed? This is all new territory to me. I will have to do some research here prior to picking one up. It would be a range only rifle. Do not hunt any more. Also am considering a .40 or .45 Cal. I have always been partial to Plains type rifles but would consider a full stock long rifle if the price was right. To take my first step I need to know if I can shoot a right handed flint left handed. If so, that would definitely increase my choices of getting a good deal on one. Seen alot of nice one's out there. Also, I know nothing about flintlocks! What should I be looking for before purchasing a flintlock? Will more than likely purchase a used one for my first rifle. Money is always a factor. Respectfully, cowboys1062.
