If any of you lefties are interested, let me know. This is a LH .54cal. percussion rifle built by Ed Rayl. It has a swamped 38" barrel by him. It weighs about 7lbs. LOP is 13 3/8". It has a crack that happened while Ed was building it. It looks like a bark inclusion at the top started it. Curly maple can be delicate. Especially with all the wood that gets removed in the lock-barrel-trigger area. He repaired it and finished over it, and I haven't been able to break it so it is solid. I didn't find it until after I had tried to load a .535 with a thick patch. If that didn't hurt it, it's OK. It should be a flintlock, but the customer wanted a caplock. $2675 $2575 $2300 shipped. If no one wants it, then I'll order a flintlock and convert it. Should be a fun project. More pictures on my blog at 9-11-18. www.bricestultzhisblog.blogspot.com You will have to type it in. Google says this site isn't secure.

Ed Rayl...never heard of him but he sure does some excellent work. Very very nice rifle and should sell easily. Only custom I can afford is a custom (stained, soon, by me) Kibler hehehe. The fit of that patch box is like the best work ever. Better than machined. Lottery will have to payout soon or I will be shooting my productions for ever more.

Ed has been at this a long time- I was lucky enough to live about 5 miles from him for quite a while- he is quite renowned, and rightly so. A great guy who is extremely skilled.
