That frizzen has had a number of hits to it.. but the rifle does look real good. Also that kind of auction is a good one to bid on if the seller is a good person to deal with. They have a real impressive sales record. They want $199.00 for a buy now, but there is no reserve in that auction. Watch the dates close if you are interested. Towards the end of the auction is when the buyers will come out. That's when you might have to jump on something like that if it interests you. That might be a real nice rifle to get a hold of. I sure would not let a frizzen like that scare me off. Also the hardware to stock fit looks real nice.

I talked to a left handed shooter that used to shoot a right handed flinter. He said when he finally got the left handed rifle, it made all the difference in the world to his accuracy.

As a lefty, I can vouch for shooting the proper hand rifle. I noticed the frizen but it didn't look all that bad to me either. I already have a Deerstalker LHand a GPR LH. So I'm not really in the market for another. I have twin boy's. One is a lefty and one is an ........other...lol, so I got to find him one of them backwards rifles.lol

Looks to be in good condition, but in the "item condition" at the top it lists it as used.

IMO the guy is a bit dishonest. In the description area it states the rifle is new, with the box. Tom.
