Hope this works. TVM late Lancaster.

It worked, it's NICE! Details?

It's a long story, but I went from one with many options, to this one, which is a basic rifle with a premium stock. It has a chambers lock, and a strait colerain barrel with round bottom rifling.

This wife said if I did this, she would let me order a Fowler this fall, as apposed to waiting till next spring.

And I thought that was a good deal.

It's got a nice clean look to it! Sounds like you negotiated well with the wife too... :hatsoff:

Good looking from what I can see but, a full length photo would be nice! :grin: :thumbsup:

Congrats on having a beautiful rifle and, a fantastic wife! :thumbsup:

Every time I see a TVM with premium stock it reminds me how Matt Avance ripped me off. But how many more important options are there (except a swamped barrel -- I'd have gone for octagonal to round myself)? That's a fine looking, and promises to be a fine performing, gun!

And a nice fowler soon!?

Win/win!

Hey John, that's your FIRST flint or muzzleloader!? Wow.

First muzzle loader. Never wanted a cap gun. LOL

Edit to add: I wanted a swamped barrel, patch box, and sling button.

42" barrel? I can't hold that so comfortably. I will say that's a heck of a gun to start with! Sometimes less is more. Someday, when you're old, you can have the front of the barrel turned down just to the flats and keep shooting it...

Nice looking gun. Great wood. Congrats! Rick. :hatsoff:
