Cva .45 caliber Kentucky rifle hardware kit

[swampdog2506]

I recently bought a 1982 cva .45 caliber Kentucky rifle kit at a pawn shop for 100 bucks, it seemed like a good deal, and I had been wanting to get in to muzzleloaders and traditional hunting for a while. It seems like most all of the parts are in the box, and nothing has been assembled, however it is missing some of the screws and smaller parts like that. Does anyone know where I might be able to find parts for it? Thanks in advance,


Hunter.

You should probably try looking in the manual if it came with one and looking for a parts list/ schematic and take an inventory of what you have. Machine screws, wood screws both imperial and metric can usually be found at your local hardware store or big box store.
Another place would be online at businesses that deal with traditional black powder firearms. Track the wolf, cabin creek, Dixie gun works etc.

You can most likely find a traditions Kentucky manual online somewhere if you don't have one in hand.

Thank you for the information, I’ve been around firearms and hunting since I was old enough to understand how they work, and how to use them safely. I remember my dad having a couple of muzzleloaders here and there over the years, but he was really never all that serious about them like he was everything else so I’m learning as I go lol. And I had to edit my post, I was wrong when I said traditions, it’s a cva kit. I’m not sure If that makes a difference or not. Also, I do have an owners manual, and it seems like I’m missing pretty much every single screw except for the ones that hold the butt plate on. But again, I appreciate everything, and I will definitely check those out. I can’t wait to get this thing put together, and looking good so I can test it out. I’m pretty excited about that haha. Here’s a picture of what I have.

Did you take that foam out of the box to be sure they aren't hiding under it?

wood screws are available from TRACK OF THE WOLF, THE ONES THAT CAME WITH THE KIT WERE BRASS BUT THEY SHOULD BE STEEL TO BE CORRECT, deer creek products should have the rest. sorry about the caps

It’s just one solid styrofoam insert that slides into a cardboard sleeve, and when I bought it, it wasn’t taped up or anything, so I reckon they probably fell out somewhere before I ever got it.

I appreciate it, I’ll look into that.

I just checked track of the wolf, and as far as the screw set, I saw a set for the Kentucky pistol, and then this one in the picture, it just says long rifle. Is that the right one?

the above sets are not metric. go to deer creek products look under cva kentucky rifle, they will have what you need. as mentioned the wood screws should be steel not brass but thats up to you.

well thank you everyone, I think I found everything I need on deer creek, so now I just have to wait on everything to get here (which might be hard, cause I’m pretty excited about it haha) but so far, I’ve got $100 in the kit itself, and right at $78 for the screw set, sights, and side plate, so $178 plus whatever it costs me to stain and blue everything, plus balls, powder, patches, caps, and all that good stuff, but so far I’m pretty happy about it haha. I’m ready to see how it turns out when I get it finished, and how it shoots. Now I’m even more excited about next years hunting season than I already was. Thanks again to everyone that helped, I’m still new and learning when it comes to muzzleloaders, this might be my first one, but I have a feeling that it won’t be the last!

First off, you got a steal on that rifle kit. As 2 shots mentioned, Deer Creek Products. Deer Creek bought all of the CVA inventory when they got out of the traditional muzzleloader market. I have bought CVA parts off them for over twenty years and through two owners. Their service is good and prices reasonable. Good luck and keep us posted with your finished rifle.

At the time I didn’t even know how much the kits went for, I didn’t find that out until after I had already bought it. But I figured it was worth a hundred bucks just for the fun of putting it together. But that makes sense, because they definitely had everything I needed and then some. I’ll have to keep that in mind for the next one. I haven’t even finished this one yet, and I already have my eye on the pistol kit to match it. But I’m not complaining, I’ve always loved doing things the old way, or using older stuff instead of brand new things, and I’ve always loved guns, so me buying that rifle kit might have got something started.
