Hello all,
I'm contemplating ordering an early Virginia from TVM. I know this subject has been discussed here with regards to authenticity but I won't dwell on that.
I plan on an upgraded maple stock, Chambers colonial Virginia lock, 42 inch Rice swamped barrel in .40 caliber, hunter star on cheek piece, silver initial medallion on top of wrist behind lock, no patch box and the rest as Matt builds it.
I'm not in to strict authenticity and I'm not much schooled in these era rifles so I'm asking those of you much more knowledgeable than I. Other than the caliber, am I committing any major sin in outfitting rifle as stated above with regards to mismatched components..?
As an aside I have an early Pennsylvania from Matt in iron and am much satisfied with his work.
Thanks all in advance for your response
Regards
