Lyman Mustang

[Doewhacker]

I have discovered the best way to get a new gun is to have my son (who is also a lefty) adopt one of my older guns. This ML season he carried my Lyman Buckstalker and loved it so I decided to let him have it and get myself a new gun. I have wanted a Mustang for a while and I like Lyman so it was a no brainer. I was able to find one on muzzle loaders.com for a great price of $269 and ordered it up. It’s not a high end gun by any means but it will get the job done, fits and looks good. 

The wood is actually a “wood finish” but you’d never know by looking at it. 

1/28 twist will handle any bullet but I am going to start with my favorite Hornady Great Plains in 385 grains pushed by Goex. 

Eventualy I will add a scope, nothing fancy but serviceable will do the trick. 

I can’t wait to carry it next year!

Its tough to find an inline ML with a wood stock, and one that isn't a bunch of money.

The draw back of this gun is that it wont shoot BH209 with out a little drill work to the Breech plug and it has been known to have a larger bore compared to others. The right bullet will take care of that.

Still like it lol don't matter it might just be number 38 in my safe

Nice looking gun

Hey Lefty,  I am too.  Almost pulled the trigger on a David Pendersoli but opted out at the last second.  I can order it from Cablelas and use up a bunch of points.  I have a Thompson Triumph now and would like to add a more traditional muzzleloader to the arsenal.   Any suggestions would be appreciated! 

The Lyman looks like a nice gun too

Lyman offers lefty’s in flint lock or 11 cap in the Deerstalker and Great Plains and Traditions has a Deer Hunter in left hand too. 

There ain’t a lot out there for lefty’s in the ML world. I bought the Deerstalker about twenty years ago and my choices were limited then too. The good thing is they can be purchased online and shipped to your house.
