    Unfinished barrel question

    Thanks, I wasn't sure which would be best. I figured blue it once & done, leave it & I would have to keep after it, but I do like the look. Although I doubt I'll be around in 30-40 years. It's at least 25 years old already though & it looks pretty good

    Unfinished barrel question

    The barrel on my gun is unfinished plain steel, it has a very small amount of surface rust, one even has someone's thumb print. Should I do something with this barrel such as blue it or just keep it as is & remove the surface rust ? What kind of finish do you all have on your barrels ?

    CVA Hawken trigger problem

    The spring mystery has been sorted out, it's a retaining spring for the ramrod. However I'm still having a little trouble with the set trigger. It didn't set at all before, now after adjusting the pull adjustment screw for it, it sets most, but not all the time. Should I make further adjustment...

    Ok, patch lube is on the list, & a trip to Dixon's as well since it's been mentioned so many times it must be a great place to go. The barrel on my gun is unfinished plain steel, it has a very small amount of surface rust, one even has someone's thumb print. Should I do something with this...

    Thanks for the tips, a short starter & co2 will be added to the shopping list. Yes, ball & patch is what I will be using, I would guess it's also less money, those sabots look a bit pricy

    Yes, I imagine that would be an often asked question, good thinking !

    Thank you & thanks very much for taking time to post that list. This will be quite a change from shooting my .308 & my AR15

    CVA Hawken trigger problem

    Thanks Andy, I'm sure this gun will be fine for my intended purposes as long as the trigger works ok. I don't plan on shooting it a lot, although I've been told it's a lot of fun & I'll probably change my mind

    CVA Hawken trigger problem

    Yeah, I realize everyone has there own brand they like, & for some, everything else is junk. I have had 3 different people now tell me about the problem trigger..."you know your biggest problem ? It's a CVA" which kind of had me 2nd guessing my purchase

    CVA Hawken trigger problem

    Yes, ramrod spring is in correctly, double checked it before putting it all back together, ramrod comes out ok. I'll check out your suggestion about loosening the trigger bar screw on the set spring as well, thanks very much. I had a buddy with a Thompson helping me earlier today but they were...

    CVA Hawken trigger problem

    Thanks, it's the ramrod spring. I didn't see where it came out from, it looked like it fell from the trigger assembly area but obviously that wasn't the case. Put the RAMROD spring where it belongs & put it back together. I did adjust the screws for the trigger pull for the set trigger & that...

    CVA Hawken trigger problem

    I just picked up a used CVA Hawken, mostly as a wall hanger as it's in nice shape, but I would like to be able to shoot it as well. My problem is the rear set trigger doesn't engage & the front trigger is almost impossible to pull. I took it apart & a spring fell out, round at one end with a...
