My longrifle

(Mod, I appear to have messed up. Will you please move to the blackpowder forum?)

I came across these photos on my computer, and I realized I never shared pictures of my TVM made "Southern Rifle" with my fellow High Roaders.

To date, the most I've ever spent on a gun. I've had it over a year now, and my wife has just about forgiven me. It now hangs in the dining room in all its glory, between frequent firings, of course.

It's a .45 caliber, small Siler lock, awesome double set triggers, 42" barrel (if I remember correct).

Thanks all! Yes my favorite thing is the weight. It's under 7 pounds even with that big 'ol barrel. She shoots straight and true and goes bang every time I pull the trigger(s). It's been a while since I bought her, so I don't obsess over the specs like I did when I was deciding what to buy. That said, I'm fairly sure it's a Colerain 13/16" barrel. Having trouble remembering a lot of minor details.

I think I paid about 1700 with the "++ flamed maple" or whatever they call this grade of wood.

Good lookin suckers, Iggy! For my money, I don't think there's a more beautiful weapon ever made than the various american long rifles. Maybe the colt SAA comes close.

Thanks! There's only one thing I don't like about it- it's hard to take photos that do it justice because it's so damn long. LOL! Hard to fit it in the frame without it being too small to see on the computer screen or warping the proportions because of the angle.
