As promised photos of my "new to me" CVA Kentucky in .45. As you can see it has some wear and tear from use. (It is about 40 years old). No warning on the barrel, no CVA, Caliber or serial no. That can be seen. Maybe on the underside of barrel. Like I said only paid $150 for it.
Plan is to remove all hard wear, polish, remove barrel and refinish then refinish the stock.

Good deal. It will surprise you how accurate these are, unless your friend bent the barrel.
I would say at least that.
That should be a nice shooter. BTW, your front sight is on backwards.
Well when I take it apart I'll change the front sight.
He used a gel stain, don't want to have to sand it a great deal as it all fits together very nicely. Any suggestions? I was thinking of one of the citrus strippers.??

Probably better, those old barrels have a slow twist, 1-60 I think, compared to the new ones with 1-48
The stock somewhat looks like its made of gun wood.

I hate that rifle!!!!!!!!!!!
A good friend (another Larry) used to kick my butt in the 80s with that stupid thing! WTG, you will like it!

Leave it be, a nicely used rifle looks much better than a new looking one that lives in a safe. This way too you will not be afraid to use the heck out of it. Nice deal.

Looks like a good time waiting to happen. Also looks like the tang screw is maybe the wrong length. Looks to be counter sunk too far. Maybe?

It looks to be not there at all.
It must be a replacement, it's in there but counter sunk deep. almost too deep to be much good.
I agree 100%. Leave it alone and shoot the heck out of it. The 1/66 barrel just might shock you.

Those are all ball twisted both old and new.
