My plan is to get the 54 cal barrel on it, blacken the brass and drag it through the woods for the next 30 years. It’s a nice rifle but it’s still a cva. I’m just going to enjoy it. Im not a 50 cal guy and I also really appreciate the weight reduction going to the 54 cal barrel. The 50 cal barrel has chatter marks in the rifling anyways, I have come across quite a few cva barrels that look like this. It didn’t bother me because I only wanted the stock and lock.
