I know there's a right handed Kentucky in Kindigs big book with u a left hand lock. And I've personally examined a left had lock from a french fusil found in one of the Tunica sites at Marksville Louisiana. There was another lefty found at the Haynes Bluff site south of Natchez. It's pictured in the publication "Tunica Archaeology" well what's left of it is! Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

It's been ready for a while, but he took it to the Contemporary Longrifle Assn show in KY last month and it sat on his table for several days, drawing compliments. Tom does excellent work. (He built the percussion longrifle I brought to the Campfire Hog Hunts in TN.) I asked him to keep this one pretty simple. It's a 20 gauge, barrel about 40 inches long. The color casing of the lock and buttplate were done in his shop, and I think they came out pretty nice. The ramrod is ebony. I've fired it with shot. Shooting patched roundball and regulating the front sight is up next. --Bob . . . . . . . .

And I know where one of the other ones lives. I had it built by an old hunting compadre. Made a 24 gauge! Shot .570 RB's really nice. Dunno what the hell I'd do with another I one. Hell don't have time to shoot ones I got. But they are iconic. Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

I had an British infantry officer's fusil repro around 25 years ago that was a joy to carry and shoot, I built from Rifle Shoppe castings. Mayhaps it's finally time to replace it.
