I am showing my most recent build, somewhat of a nostalgic throwback NOS 54 cal CVA Mountain Rifle build (top). I contrast it with my Don Stith .58 parts set I built 25 years ago and my first build, a CVA Mtn Rifle .50 (USA) from 1977-78.

Very nice! I've got a CVA .58 with the same butterscotch coloring. What's next?

I bought a pistol today that needs some restoration love. Anybody here that would take on a project like this?

Missing grip plates, wedge pin escutcheons, a sand and refinish?
Make it workable and complete is what I had in mind.

It also says DGW and Made in Italy on the barrel. I assume that is Dixie Gun Works and Pedersoli.

Maybe parts would be easy? Maybe discontinued?

Don't see it on the missing list, or pictures, but a ram rod sure is handy.

I change old shotgun springs for springs on repro locks. I had collected a few £15 old eBay locks over time. The great saver was one on an L&R flintlock. But I had to drill an additional hole for the pin

I just got done processing this X Ray room counter weight. I thought it was gonna collapse my burner stand. But it held up great and I still have all my skin. The ole back may be sore tomorrow though.
