    SOLD CVA Mountain Rifle

    Some more pictures. Feel free to make a reasonable offer. The worst I could say is no.

    I was going to polish the nose cap back bright, but decided to leave it the was it was.

    SOLD CVA Mountain Rifle

    I'm guessing it was probably a kit, but the barrel is nicely browned. His dad passed away 15 years ago and it hadn't been fired since until I took it out a month or so ago.

    SOLD CVA Mountain Rifle

    I'm assuming so. I got it from the son of a guy I used to shoot with back in the 80's. His dad passed away and it was the gun he used back then.

    SOLD CVA Mountain Rifle

    Older CVA Mountain Rifle with the 4 screw patchbox in .50 caliber. Shoots very well. I just picked up a new "custom rifle" so need to sell off a few to offset the cost. Asking $425 which includes shipping to the lower 48. PM me for further questions or additional pictures.

    Dang pawn shop did it again.

    Fortunately for me, I've done enough research on the gun(s) I've bought to not get scammed. I've refused a deal or two before after examining the gun to see it was either tampered with, or modified.

    Dang pawn shop did it again.

    I've tried for years to convince my wife of that very fact and as of late, she's slowly beginning to understand. She was with me when an old gentleman sold me three black powder guns (one rifle and two shotguns). I kept the nicer Navy Arms double 12 and sold the other two for a bit more than I...

    Trying shot in a rifled muzzleloading pistol??

    It was always "Give me a bottle of pop." when I grew up. Short for soda pop I guess. Now its, 'Hand me a dew or a pepper etc. Speaking of which, I ran on to a 12 pack of DP that had been in my camper for over a year. I took it out on the range and shot them with my black powder shotguns. Great...

    Fraged by My Musket

    Besides, tell the White House that your great great ancestor died in battle by having that happen to him and there is probably some compensation you can receive. 🤣

    Traditions products

    I have a Traditions Trapper .50 caliber percussion pistol that shoots quite well. I just make sure I clean out the nipple port area quite regularly as that seems to be the most problematic area for me. As far as accuracy, it shoots about as good as any of my more expensive pieces do. Or should I...

    28 or 29 caliber??

    I haven't seen any recent makers of that small of a caliber, but I have seen .22 caliber before. I just can't imagine trying to load one. My .32 is bad enough as I usually end up dropping a couple on the ground before I get one loaded.

    28 or 29 caliber??

    For a while, I shot #1 buck (.30) out of my .32 CVA squirrel rifle. I used a medium patch and it shot fine until I found a .310 mould. I'll bet you could do the same thing with #3 buck (.25 diameter) with a bit thicker patch if the patched .27 doesn't work out.

    Dang pawn shop did it again.

    I know how that goes. When we made our last move, I brought all my guns out of the basement and onto the living room floor so I could pack them up. My wife was astounded that they covered the whole floor. When we got married some 20 years earlier, I owned about a dozen. My reply was, "Well, when...

    How long do you spend cleaning your long rifle after an outing at the range

    Bill to ban Lead Ammunition in Maine

    Yes it was just an exaggeration as to imply cost. I bought a 7 lb bag of bismuth for $109.00 to shoot in my muzzle loading shotguns when I hunt duck. I figured if there are 7000 grains to a pound, and 437.5 grains to an ounce, I'd estimate I'm shooting 1 1/8 oz shot. Roughly, 500 grains of shot...
