lyman makes a slow twist left handed flintlock in 54 cal.. its a good starter gun.. for about 400 dollars im guessing. with a little tweeking from a good gunsmith you should get it up to speed.. there is alot of tricks and ins and outs to black powder shooting.. and it will take some time getting to get it working for you.. if your going to hunt with it you should get in a little below freezing shooting as wiping and cleaning below zero is different. and impacts are lower alos.. track of the wolf is a good place to start for higher end guns,, you can get a lyman at midway.. look at a lyman percussion at your local gun stores to see if the style suits you.. then you could order a left handed flint. ive heard a few complaints about the lyman flint being a little slow, but that may be able to be cured with a white lightning flash hole insert.. as with any guns great stuff cost alot more.. but the lyman i think will be good for starters.. dave..

Thanks for the quick replies. I've been shooting sidelock percusion guns(all right handed) for about a decade so I have an idea of the basics. I'm sure flinchlocks have an equally difficult learning curve but after reading about them for awhile they seem interesting. I've heard the term "patent lock or chamber" is anyone familiar with this?
