Well I finalized my order with Tennesse Valley Muzzleloading.
I ordered the Southern Rifle in iron. A "non-Poor Boy" with the following specs:
-Nosecap, toe plate, sideplate and
entry thimble
-top of the line walnut
-L & R Durs Egg flintlock/L & R set triggers
-long tang but not a "Lolipop"
-Green Mountain 7/8ths" X 42 octagon barrel
-A different Southern Patchbox-A non banana
from a known rifle, but unknown maker in
Somerset County.
TVM has been very nice in their helping me through the ordering process. I have seen the quality of their work. Now it's just the wait. In the meantime, my old Lyman Great Plains Rifle .54 I've had for 13 years is sighted in and ready for deer season!

I'm in the same boat, waiting for my Sells Tennessee Rifle (and having the GPR .54 sighted in case it doesn't arrive in time to shoot it in by hunting season).
