TVM build almost complete
« on: January 09, 2016, 07:19:55 AM »
Ordered this rifle about 9 months ago.  Looks to be almost completed.  Still need to do the engraving on the dial on the wrist.

Here are the details:
TVM Tennessee style
Aged iron furniture
.45 swamped barrel

That looks to be a very nice rifle, BigBuckeye.  Mine's a .32 poorboy but looks to be from the same litter as yours.

Curious about the vent pick and its holder.  Did you make that or purchase it?

I love this Southern mountain rifle. It looks so right in so many ways. The one issue I have are the sights. The high buckhorn rear sight, and the beached orca front sight, really kill the feel of a true Southern mountain rifle. IMO that is.

While I find buckhorn rear sights to be very versatile, I had to remove the buckhorn from my Tn .32 and install a higher plain one.  Had to replace the front before it was over, too.  I could not sight it in as fitted and filed the front down too far in my quest.  I like and know how to use buckhorns but sometimes the gun/sight combo doesn't work out.

BigBuckeye, I hope yours line up well.  That is a beautiful .45.
