    CVA Mountain Stalker

    LOL... That I would like to see -- you could call it a "wal-not" stock. @ Bob -- thanks for the info! I will be heading down to Bass Pro on Friday to see if they have any Goex, might pick up some maxiballs while I am there, too. Guess I'll just have to spend more time at the farm working up...

    Hello from TN

    Glad I found this place! I am getting back into muzzleloading after about a 20 year hiatus, and I am happy I found such a great resource for information. So far, all I have is the .50 caliber CVA Mountain Stalker side-lock carbine that my father bought me when I was 14, but I am very...
