Stopped by a pawn shop At foley ,Alabama and talked to the guy there for a minute. I got the mountain rifle for 200 bucks. Needs a clean up But overall should make a great shooter. Will post pictures later. FBC

Excellent!
We need pictures!
Wow, that sounds like a pretty fair deal, congratulations. Pictures would be good.
Bore condition is everything on used black powder guns.

I’ve been shooting muzzleloaders for 40 years . Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Learn something new everyday.
yes I think so . The 1/66 twist is what hooked me.

Track of the Wolf has wedges for sale. Check with them.

That rifle looks to be in great shape. I built one from the kit in 1978. It’s still one of the best shooters I’ve got. Love the triggers.
Nice find indeed.

It looks like it might be a Premier Grade MR that someone blackened the nosecap & triggerguard
Mine (ca. 1990):
The SN should give you the DOM

The CVA Mountain Rifle is generally considered to be the best rifle produced by CVA. Both the "Made in USA" or the Spanish Barrels are very good with respect to accuracy on target. The wedges are cheap and readily available at Deer Creek or Track of the Wolf and other suppliers.
The percussion lock has been more reliable than the flint lock. Even so, use of a Hot Shot or Spitfire nipple to get more flame along the path from the nipple seat to the powder charge is recommended.

Great rifles for the money. I have shot over 75 pounds of Goex 3f from mine over the decades.
