That is very nice. TVM has been very busy lately. Lock is on the left side, swamped barrel, 50 caliber, Early Lancaster, yep that would be a perfect rifle by my standards. Tell us how it shoots. Has it got a patchbox?

Oooops! Sorry about that. She's a .50 caliber with a 42 inch swamped barrel. I ordered her in November, Matt said that the swamped rice barrels have been coming in at a slower rate and plus he has been swamped with work.

Great looking rifle...plenty of time to get it dialed in for hunting season too...congratulations !

:thumbsup:

My 36 caliber should be here in 2 weeks or so. Talked with Toni yesterday and sent in the balance for the rifle today. Matt is a bit busy right now, I ordered mine back in mid December.

Went to the range today. I just had to burn some powder today. I decided to start off using 60 grains and shot 3 groups and increased by 5 grains each time. I am settling in at 70 grains of 3F with a .018 patch and .490 PRB. The target was 25 yards.

Not too bad

That's a fine shooting rifle and a good looking one, too. Those TVMs are among the best.

Congratulations to you on a fine choice of rifle an rifle maker. Now the fun begins :hatsoff:

Sweet, I also love that you had it built with the lock on the 'correct' side! I ordered in Jan so I reckon a couple more months to go and Rice barrels told me no more swamped .45's till July anyhow. Sure wishing I had mine for all this good weather though.

Good for you, Flyfisher!!

Ordered in Jan, basically same rifle, except 38" swamped Rice. I am queriuos as to how well she balances, I'm sure just fine. And if you could put her on a scale for us??? B wt or C wt?

.50 cal with a 42 inch Rice barrel, Weighs 8lbs and is overall 4 foot 10 inches. The balance is great!

Looks like some nice curl in that wood (I love maple)! Stained a nice color, too.

Enjoy your new gun (looks like you are already)! :thumbsup:

I have an early Lancaster on order - not quite as fancy as yours. I wanted the second (set) trigger, not available on the late Lancaster.
