    recs for new sights on CVA Mountain Rifle

    I have only just had fitted a T/C click adjustable rear sight and front sight to match to my CVA Mountain rifle and is a big improvement to the primitive sights it came with. Had to drill and tap the barrel to fit the T/C sight. Rick

    #10 vs #11 nipple on my Traditions.

    I would first try replacing the nipple with the correct type as you dont know if someone has replaced it with the incorrect type, or slightly crush the no. 11 cap so it will be a tighter fit. I used to have to do this with a 1858 Rem Rick

    Cleaning Barrel

    Would cleaning your barrel after shooting using fine steel wool same type as used in the kitchen wrapped around a jag or a bronze brush when using hot soapy water be ok to use or not, or would it be to harsh for the barrel and end up removing the edges of the rifling.

    T/C Silent Ball Discharger

    I've seen these T/C Silent Ball Discharger on the internet for sale and would like to know what actually is used to propell the ball from the barrel, and also what they are like to remove the ball rather than using a bullet puller. Rick

    TC rear sight

    roundball, I've just checked out the Brownell's site and found the Williams sights they are called "WDOS" open sights and looks like the way to go about it rather than drill and tap the barrel. Will look at seeing if they would be interested in shipping to Australia. :thanks:

    Split Nipple

    Thanks guys, I think you are right it's a fault in during production that caused an imperfection or weakness. I will look into buying a few Hot Shot nipples for the US, will look around on ebay to find some, as here in Australia we dont a big selection when it come to muzzleloader accessories...
