    CVA Optima Pro Magnum .50 Cal Replacement Barrel

    Looking for advice/information on getting a replacement barrel for my old CVA Optima Pro Magnum, .50 Cal. Long story short, let a friend borrow it to shoot and they never cleaned it. I found out 6 months later and it was far too late to salvage the barrel at that point...

I had been trained to use side by side 12 g shotguns but, in those days, in Scotland, there was little formal training available. I am now entering my second childhood and am reluctant to rely...
