Curious, I have a line on a rifle made by TVM called an Advance rifle. Any ideas what this is? I'm told it is numbered and not that many are made each year... anyone with some personal knowledge? Would it be worth canceling my Baker order I wonder? :hmm:

Matt Avance is a gun maker who worked for Jack Garner. I believe he has the "other' TVM now.
Ok, what is the deal here CaptDan? First you got to have a Baker as THE RIFLE, and your willing to wait a unknown timeframe to get it...
Then you are offered the chance to buy a rife you don't know squat about and you want to ditch the Baker for it?
What gives?
I mean the world is "full" of nice flintlocks if you just want to shop around. Track of the wolf has some killer rifles come through their website on a weekly basis. If you got the bug to buy something... keep an eye on Track"s site as they do allow you to look a rifle over and return it if it's not what you expected.
Cheers,

David,
Your right, ”¦. My only defense is that I may suffer from
Indefatigableous-firearms-denero syndrome. This is when you desire more guns than the pocket book allows.
Only known fix is to either win a 300 million $$ powerball, or perhaps invent a new computer working system that takes the place of microsoft. My chance at either is not good”¦ if I derail again please slap me silly”¦”¦”¦.. at least I stuck wit guns and did not drift off into buying collector dolls or something”¦.

It is not an advance rifle but that is his last name. Matt builds some mighty fine rifles, I own 2 of them. They are good shooters and I really like the feel and look of them both. A person could not go wrong owning one of them. He uses top knotch parts.

oldarmy, I am not familiar with TVM, but my shooting Buddy ( Sir Michael) has a TRS Baker. It is a "Sweet" gun & the owner has been VERY responsive to any ??? he has had. Yes he is slow, but so are ALL of the "semi- Custom Mfg.s
Just my opinion

The rifle that he is speaking of is a line that Matt started last fall. It is an "Avance" rifle. These rifles are signed and number on a limited basis. Matt is the only one that builds, carves, and engraves these. They are not TVM rifles.
These started as family and friend gifts. He carried one to a show and that's how the first one sold.These are not order rifles. They are only built built in his spare time and sold as avaiable.

Capt Dan,
Slash is one person who might help you with an in-the-white rifle or a kit gun. She is politely not tooting her own horn, but I have one of their rifles and like it very much.
Call and discuss all of the items listed in my earlier post with them.
I would not cancel the Rifle Shoppe order since your financial batteries will likely recharge by the time you receive the parts from them.
