    Love TVM and rifles built by Matt Advance . . Interesting that he didn't have a side plate . . . He's a good builder . . it's a very nice fowler !!!

    Negativity towards Traditions guns

    I think we go through stages, or many of us do . . . I started with a Traditions Crocket and later a Lyman GPR. Both were beautiful rifles, though I had problems with the Crockett. As I got more into ML's and built a Chambers and TVM kit, I learned more about historic rifles and my tastes...

    Feibings leather dye is a GREAT stain, but wear really good gloves . . it's very messy.

    Who uses their smoothbore strictly as a shotgun?

    I'll take the bait from Feltwad . . . but in reading his post, I am not sure I disagree, but I may need more info. A more modern ML shotgun would only be intended for shot, though not to say one cannot use ball . . . a fowler would be either. I have a Chambers Penn Fowler I built, which was...

    Philadelphia Deringers have arrived

    Thanks, sorry i missed that info in the thread . . . Uberti is much higher quality than CVA and your pistols are among the best I've ever seen . . . again, they are wonderful . . . I have a CVA I built when I was a teen . . . your's are several steps above mine. Congrats !!!

    Philadelphia Deringers have arrived

    Who made those? They look a little like an excellent customization of the CVA ,but I am not sure they are. Beautiful !!!

    TVManufacturing…..

    Well, I bought a trigger guard, butt plate, triggers, and patch box . . the patch box was in a package like new . . the others where not bad, but since I had to file the casting marks and tabs off the guard and butt plate, it really didn't matter at all. . . and the price was good. It is...

    TVManufacturing…..

    I called TVM about 5 or 6 weeks ago and spoke with Jack's wife . . . Jack was in the shop. . . I ordered parts for a Southern TN rifle I plan to build from a blank. She mentioned that they had either a flood or a tree falling on the shop and rain damage. (I can't recall which.) This has...

    Tip Curtis Rifles

    I don't own one, but in honor of his passing . . . I think it would be good to start a threat of pics of Tip Curtis' work. I always loved going to his booth at Friendship and looking at his rifles. He built great guns at a good price. . . filled a niche that leaves a big hole now. I sure...

    Tip Curtis

    He made very good rifles at very good prices . . . His passing leaves a huge hole in vender row at Friendship. I loved going in his "booth" (more like a big garage) there and looking around and talking with him. Never bought one of his rifles, wish I had now . . . bought other things...

    My First Kit Build w/ Photos

    I had some thoughts about the carving . . . I think it can make or break a gun . . . more often than not I don't like much of it on at least 60% of the rifles I see . . . frankly, that includes yours . . . BUT it's in the eye of the beholder . . . what is undeniably impressive (and your rifle...
