HELLO, I HAVENT OWNED A FLINT IN 30 YEARS BUT GETTING THE URGE TO HUNT WITH ONE,,,,LOOKING AT THE STOCK DO YOU THINK THE PATCH BOX WILL INTERFER WITH ME BEING LEFT HANDED....

Depends on how much cast-off it has. You will never notice the patchbox. I am LH and I shoot rifles of both sides. Depending on the shape of the comb, the cast-off can put the edge of the comb into your cheekbone and make it hard to get behind the sights. A straight stock can be shot comfortably from either side.

in having a wooden patch box it would be much more gentile on the cheek than a brass one. !

 

[EC121]

I have several RH rifles with brass patchboxes, and they are no more noticeable to shoot LH than a wooden one. The only thing to watch for is the edge of the lid snagging your jacket. The lid is facing into the shoulder and will sometimes snag on clothing. A pushbutton opening lid won't be a problem. A snap shut type lid can catch and open.
