I did this on a Cva overhaul of a Mountain Stalker. I used the wire and torch method to dress up that plain beech. First try and I like it! Hope this helps!
WOW!! Nice work, that thing is beautiful.I did this on a Cva overhaul of a Mountain Stalker. I used the wire and torch method to dress up that plain beech. First try and I like it! Hope this helps!
I agree . Did away with the brass spacer and converted from percussion to flint. Did this for a girlfriend that wanted a flintlock.Sooner or later people are going to learn that you pay for convenience when ordering on line.Did exactly this to a used 45 CVA Kentucky I picked up some years ago - pretty sure it has a US made barrel. The lock (percussion) was rubbish - an L&R RPL has not missed a beat. A lot of wood was removed and the Ramrod pipes opened up to take a 3/8" rod. That 'washer' in the middle of the fore-end was removed - used part of it to make a new nose-cap. Stained quite dark most people don't pick it as a CVA and it shoots like crazy! I have a number of 'Custom' Rifles but this little rifle is just plain fun to shoot. Don't regret the time and money I spent on it.
There are 2 long pins that connect the 2 PC stocks. The brass PC is screwed on with clearance holes for the pin. Used Accru Glass epoxy that comes with die pacs so you can get it close to the color you want it to be. Glued it up with that. I believe I had to re drill the pin holes or at least the ones in the front PC of the stock. I don't think I put the nose PC on. Sand it and stain to match the die in the epoxy.Please tell me more about doing away with the brass spacer.
