Ordered an Early Virginia from TVM

[jfaldo]

Thanks guys. My first ever flintlock and it was a pretty cool experience. I'm very pleased with this rifle overall. Been shooting caplock muzzleloaders for as long as I can remember but this was sure a different experience. Can't believe it took me this long

Very accurate and Reliable. Any accuracy problems I may encounter, are strictly due to the loose nut behind the Butt plate. :wink:

Good to hear, Dan! Thank you.

You'll fall in love with it,My 58 is so accurate it is scary!!! and it only took 2 trips to the range to get "Boomer" dialed in. BTW it was named by the wife :thumbsup: Found the link to pics of "Boomer"

Thank you for the link to a great post! You have a fine rifle. I thought the color of the stock was particularly attractive. Was that TVM's "brown", as opposed to a "dark brown" stain?

I have a TVM Early Virginia half octagon Long Hammock .54 barrel, have had it seven years now I love, the deer hate it. Good luck with the new rifle.

 

[Robert Wilson]

Thank you for the encouraging words, rr11. I'm really looking forward to receiving my new rifle. Your Early Virginia sounds like a real honey!

Not sure if it is "Brown" or what,I told them I wanted a fairly light colored stock.Though you can't really see it, the stock has a lot of figure to it.

 

[Robert Wilson]

Thanks, Dewey! Very nice! The butt of your stock has some really nice figure in it. I hope she's a shooter!

 

[Robert Wilson]

majg1234, I thought it was another custom touch! It seemed to be a good bit lighter than Matt's typical, "dark brown". I DID notice the figure in your stock, admired it, and felt that the lighter than usual stain showed it to good advantage. Yup, she's a pretty one! Thank you.

Good luck with yours,I've got 2 TVM rifles and am pleased with both.The 40Cal SMTN I got off Gunbroker unfired,Shes very accurate too.The Early Va was more or less custom built to my LOP with lock, sights ,stock color, and barrel, to my specifications.
