    Browning a barrel

    Being new at this I have studied the above postings. I ordered the LMF. Now for questions. What does it mean when you all say the barrel had to be "carded"? In using ammonia do you dilute it? How do you all apply? Do you let it set up on the barrel? Just rinse off? Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks...

    Browning a barrel

    I am preparing to brown a CVA barrel using Birchwood Casey Plum Brown. So far the information that I have been able to find on the internet instructs to heat the barrel. Any advice on how to heat the barrel uniformly to apply the finish? Any other tricks you all might know on using this...

    Thanks Gents. I did look at deer creek for a CVA Kentucky barrel but did not see one. I did close the deal on the one I mentioned above for $120 shipped. Has the nipple drum with the end screw and the two holding wedges under the barrel with the pins. The seller advised me about drilling the...

    CVA Kentucky barrel replacement

    Gents, a couple more questions if you don't mind. Is this a "Jukar" barrel? If I was fortunate to find a CVA Kentucky barrel in 50 cal would that work? Might wind up going to gunsmith. Local gunshop said that the drum must be properly indexed to hammer. Am I getting in over my head trying to tap...

    Again thanks Gents. I do have a replacement drum and assembly coming from Dixie Gun Works. They said it is for a CVA Kentucky. Have no idea what size it is.

    CVA Kentucky barrel replacement

    Acquired a CVA 45 cal. Kentucky percussion rifle that has some age to it. Someone has cut off the drum that holds the percussion nipple and started to drill out the remaining threaded part of the drum. If I cannot get it tapped out I will probably look for a 45 replacement barrel. Saw this on a...

    45 trajectory

    New member here. Gent from another website suggested I try this site. Hope you all can help. A few months back I bought a nice used CVA 45 cal, percussion Squirrel rifle. I finally got around to shooting it yesterday. Performed well. I am shooting a patched .440 cal round ball using 60 grains of...
