    Help with CVA Kentucky rifle

    Also check the screw that holds the lock in place. Pull the hammer back and see if you notice a slight silver on the head of the screw. If the lock bolt is screwed in to far it will slow the hammer fall and not strike the cap with enough force to ignite. Just back it out a turn or so. Also...

    Help with CVA Kentucky rifle

    Fire channel is probably clogged with gunk. After you clean it stand it on its muzzle overnite with a paper towel under it. It will help the liquids drain away from the channel. I was surprised how much drained out when I started doing this. Also when shooting, just shoot. Any cleaning...

    Your an experienced shooter. Check the sights for tightness and have someone else shoot it. Up the powder charge 20% or so from where you were. How many grains were you shooting? Pic of target and number of shots. Were your results any better than the 15-25 cm before? Any progress at...

    Lots of good advice is being provided. Make a plan, simple one. Start shooting but keep it all simple till a pattern develops. 15-25cm way to big a pattern i believe. Start over, eliminate variables, be consistent, go slow and review your shooting technique each shot, shoot 10 shots the best...

    Also what distances are you shooting and group size. For some of us with bad eyes a dinner plate at 25 yards is a good group. Others that is a good group at 200 yards.

    From Colerain sight. "By far, one of the most common problems for rifles not to shoot to their full potential is to have the barrels too tight in the stock and not having the underlugs (tennons) slotted. Whether you build the firearm yourself or have someone build it for you, please check these...

    Christmas Cartridges

    Myself as well. Made some for my 44. The force jammed unburnt paper into the nipple fire channel. I mean forced it into it. Nipple pick would not push it out. Now when I made my first batch I simply twisted the ends and inserted them into the chambers. I believe the major cause was the...

    I Told a Big, Fat Lie a Couple of Weeks Ago

    Not really, you helped a family in need and that is the greater good. It was not for your personal satisfaction or desire. You would still be the same man if someone had not asked for help so someone asking you for help and you provide it does not change the man.
