The House brothers created the Woodbury school of rifles that uses elements that “could have been” and while influenced by existing Southern longrifles, has a more creative playbook. Because their work is so well done and coherent, it’s easy to think it is historically accurate. As such, many suppliers of gun parts offer guards, buttplates, patchboxes, and so on based on Woodbury school designs and call some of them “early Virginia” when “early Woodbury” might be a better description.
