That's a beautiful piece of wood! I remember as a boy using ash wood for a single tree, a chunk of wood with two trace chains from the collar on a horse attached at the ends and the middle being attached to a plow. The single tree withstood constant shear pressures and jerking, etc. I always thought it would make a great gunstock. I have a 12 guage converted flintlock blanket gun I built from ash, and it is a stout rascal. I had to quit carrying it in public because the police thought it was a blunt force trauma weapon, Ha!

I have to say that I am sort of curious that no one is interested in my TVM enough to discuss or make an offer Just curious. I had hoped for some dialog at least. I understand that $1800 is a lot of money I totally get it.
Anyway ,it is a beautiful rifle and is a lot of fun to shoot I may just give it to a nephew or friend who has the time to enjoy it.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat Scott- But the ash stock doesn't do it for me. Still it's a beaut, and the Ketland lock and the tapered barrel add to it.

 

[ScottE]

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I can relate to your thoughts on the Ash stock. I have always been a fan of curly maple myself.
When I visited TVM a few months back and they showed this one to me I was really impressed with it I guess photos just don't do it justice

ScottE:

Just wondering and perhaps to clear up some confusion here.... The gun you are selling is the one in the first set of pictures without a patch box and stained the dark (red, whatever) color, not the honey stained one. Correct ?

What are the Breech and muzzle measurements of the barrel ?

Thanks

 

[Bootz]

ScottE,

Nice rifle! Someone should be interested. Maybe there are some buyers who were waiting until they saw what was available at Friendship before making a commitment. Unfortunately, the LOP is too long for me.

Does it have a nose cap or am I seeing pattern of the wood grain?
