CVA squirrel rifle

[Rebel bull]

I have a CVA .32 cal flintlock rifle. I acquired a percussion lock a few years ago with plans to convert it but I never did.

I have never seen or heard of one as a flintlock wasn't aware of CVA offering them that way. I owned both combo sets and have compared the squirrel rifles side by side to the Cherokee/senaca's and they are almost identical the squirrel has the better lock because of the adjustable sear all of them 80-90 percent of the time had what I call fence post wood in my opinion its easier to find a cva stock with character almost all of the T/C's are really straight grained. the only reason I sold my squirrels is I fell into a Cherokee and a Seneca with with a plus curl but the CVA's were better shooters hands down

I have a CVA Squirrel rifle 32 cal. made in 1983 bought it in 2011 and shot a lot of squirrels with it. It would shoot a cloverleaf group at 32 yards with all shots touching. Haven't shot it since 2017 when went through chemo therapy for testicular leukemia and had to stop hunting. To be honest I don't remember if it has a hooked or button breech.

I checked my Squirrel Rifle 36 cal. It is 25 inches long. It measures .883 across the flats and has the hooked breach. It is a little bigger than my 32 Squirrel Rifle in every way.

Here's a few photos of my CVA flintlock squirrel rifle. Sorry for the terrible quality of the photos. I took them in a hurry
