Congrats!!! I too would like to see close up pics of the rifle..
Not the greatest pics, but best I can do right now and a number of you asked. TVM Early Lancaster in .54 cal (aka: Big Smokey).
Got it late 1999. Retirement gift to myself when I retired from the USAF in 2000. Taken a few deer with it since. Had a Traditions PA Longrifle in .50 cal (aka: Little Smokey) before that. Took a lot of deer with that .50 cal.
Been hunting deer pretty much exclusively with a flintlock since 1991.I Quit hunting regular rifle season 5-6 years ago and now just hunt the Muzzleloader seasons with the TVM Lancaster.
It'll shoot. Will do clover leafs at 50 yds and between 3-4 inches at 100yds. 90 gr Goex FFg, .530 hand cast ball and .10 patch. I use a little looser patch for hunting for easier and faster reload. A .15 patch makes it a bit too tight for a fast reload after 1st shot, and on the range it shows the combo works with no difference whether I use .10 or .15. In the field too :wink:
A little point of interest, to me anyhow. The frizzen cover I made myself. The "Wampum Beads" do have a meaning. I'm originally from the Pittsburgh area. The 3 white stripes stand for "The 3 Rivers".

That's wonderful; the hunt, the deer and the beautiful rifle.
