CLOSED CVA Mountain Stalker in 50 cal 1:32 twist

[chorizo]

A clean, solid bore 1:32 twist is a must. Rest not that important.

Just an FYI on that gun you are looking for, The Bobcat, Pioneer and Mountain Stalker are all parts interchangeable. Bobcat has a bit shorter barrel than Mountain Stalker and the Pioneer is the same gun as the Mountain Stalker but with a wood (beech I think) stock.

Understand.....but the Mountain Stalker has a 1:32 twist Not looking for parts, just the fast twist barrel

That I did not know about the mountain stalker. Explains why I have better luck with conicals than ball in my MS barrel.

I have a Mountain Stalker barrel on a Pioneer stock with a lock and trigger from a Bobcat. 3 pieces of junk combined to make a really good rifle.

I have a MS 54cal barrel (1:38) on a Frontier stock and I would do the same for the 50 cal.

Good shooters.

I've got 2 of them. One is stamped 1/48 twist and the other doesn't have the twist stamped on the barrel.
I only ever shot round balls or the Hornady PA conicals out of either one. They shoot pretty good.

Mountain Stalker? Mountain Rifle is 1:48

Mountain Stalker has a 26" barrel and is 1:32 in 50 cal and 1:38 in 54 cal. Mountain Rifle 28" or sometimes longer in 1:48. Frontier rifle (28") and Frontier Hunter (24") both have 1:48

 

[deermanok]

Mine is definitely stamped Mountain Stalker. 50 cal. 1/48.

 

[cynthialee]

I had to go look....Mine also says Mountain Stalker 1/48

@deermanok and @cynthialee Interesting! They may have made a switch later on, but were advertised as 1:32. I know the early ones were 1:32. I will keep my eye peeled for the early versions. Thanks for letting me know! I had one given to me that we used for a stuck ball test and it was 50 cal, 1:32 but the barrel was absolutely, totally, irrevocably rusted out and trashed. It made a sewer pipe look pristine.

Like I said, the other one I have isn't stamped at all, so I don't know what the twist is on that one.

I think I have a Pioneer, no markings but it is 1:32 twist and has a Monte Carlo type beech wood stock. Thinking about cutting the pistol grip part off and making it more like a Hawken style rifle then converting to a flintlock.

I have a cva bobcat stamped one in 48. I also have a cva Mackinaw 25" barrel, wood stock with a pistol grip. rifle looks nice and feels good but has a one in 25" twist. Haven't shot it much, only a couple of times for function so I don't know how it will do with prb's. Hope it will do ok out to fifty yards.

[chorizo]

Well, now that everyone has shown me what they got.....who is willing to part with one and for how much?

Especially interested in the Mackinaw.

 

[Kentuckyjed]

Top one is a Deer Hunter, below it is the Pioneer/Frontier. Both Traditions .50 cal. I have never shot these just refinished/restored. was thinking about selling them to get what I want. .50 cal flintlock, Hawken or??

 

[chorizo]

Twist rate on the Pioneer/Frontier?

 

[Kentuckyjed]

I would entertain selling them both but I am not familiar with shipping/cost and payment options. I do not have PP. Never really sold anything that someone could meet and see in person.

 

[Kentuckyjed]

Twist rate on the Pioneer/Frontier?

1:32
1:48 on the Deer Hunter

 

[chorizo]

1:32
1:48 on the Deer Hunter
