My TVM rifle arrived yesterday via ups. Ordered it last July. It's the early Virginia in .36 cal, left handed, percussion, 36' barrel, all iron mounted, with the basic stock. It is a really nice looking sleek rifle. Unfortunately can't shoot it til tomorrow due to previous appointmets,etc. Built by M.A. Vance, and his work is great. The wood is their common wood and is dark but has very subtle marbling all up and down the stock. Looks plain until you actually look at it closely. Looking forward to tomorrow.
