new addition - CVA Plainsman

[pajeepman]

Picked this CVA Plainsman .50 cal last weekend at a flea market. It is still loaded, gotta fix that. Compressed air did not work. It looks to have been fired, loaded, and put away. Fouling in the bore, tiny bit of rust in the bore. The pan is pretty rusty and the front sight is broken. I found one that says it fits a CVA Kentucky rifle, looks like it will work. It was less that 4 Jacksons so I think I did OK. I just gotta get some balls since my other is a .54. Not much info about the CVA Plainsman when I Google search it.

Should be a fun project. Keep us updated.

I had a plainsman years ago. The barrel was of spanish origin.
Hope this helps

How is the 3rd picture a LH lock? I can't figure out what the optical illusion is.....

I flipped it for better viewing and didn't realize it made it look left handed. It is right handed.

The trigger guard is made from cast aluminum or similar alloy. They break very easy-don't ask how I know that..............
