Gewehr98, I have the same problem with my Euroarms Rem New Army. I picked it up on a trade and have several problems with it. First, the hammer nose won't fall into the safety notches in the cylinder! Second, the hammer face has been peened as you describe on your son's .36! I see no...

Thanks Sundance for the Track Of the Wolf page! 20Cows, I messed up in step (2) of my lenghty post!! The original tapped bolster hole was threaded for a metric thread (10 X 1.25 mm)! I should have said "unscrew my bolster/drum from the barrel of my CVA Hawken and drill through the original...

Hey 20Cows, That sounds great! I guess I'll order the vent liners from Dixie and then the lock from Deer Creek unless Deer Creek has liners in their catalog. Let me know! It would be great if D.C. has all of the stuff I need! BTW did you order the metric tap along with the vent liners from...

OK Gang, here's the way I see it from here! 20Cows, correct me if I am going astray! (1) I place an order with Dixie Gun Works for (1) replacement CVA bolster (P/N NP0905) with 10 X 1.25 mm threads and (3) SS vents (P/N NP0506) with 5/16 X 24 threads. (2) I unscrew my bolster/drum...

1K, I thought I posted this last time I logged in but I guess it didn't load... Anyway, the area code for Deer Creek changed. The number is: 765-525-6181. I called and the price for a new flint lock for the CVA St. Louis Hawken is $65. The part number is LK1330. The only thing I need to do...

20Cows, Thanks for your help! I have tried to call Deer Creek but each time I get a message that the number is not available. I'll try 411 and see if they have a new number! So if I understand you correctly, the bolster must be ground flush with the barrel flat, counter bored and then...

20Cows, When you unscrewed the bolster did you have trouble getting it out? My bolster has some teeth marks (not human) on it and I wonder if someone tried to remove it with vice grips! I assume that the vent liners are threaded to screw into the barrel and have some pre-determined inside...

Thanks 1k, I thought that all of the new guns were blued and wondered why mine had a white metal barrel. I guess I should have removed the barrel before I bought it! Oh well! At least I'll have a working gun that will look like I want it to look when I am finished with it. I think I'll...

I have since done some swapping and now have the .50 cal. CVA St Louis Hawken. I am not sure if I got a good deal or not but I gave the equivalent of $200. I thought that I could just remove the bolster myself but CVA said to send the barrel to them and they would remove it and install a...

20Cows, Did you send the barrel back to CVA when you converted the rifle to flint? The CVA rep that I talked to said that I couldn't unscrew the perc drum and insert a flash guide for the flint conversion! I thought that the conversion would be easy to do but I guess I am wrong!

For the record, CVA still has parts for the old BP guns and will service them. I am in the process of building a CVA Kentucky perc pistol and want to convert it to flint. I called CVA (770-449-4687) and they will convert the barrel for $25 and sell me the flint lock for $65. I also have a...

Thanks for the fast response to my post. I swapped an Austro Hungarian M-95 rifle and some cash for the gun at my favorite gun shop. My revolver is blued and has very few blemishes. There are several small, deep rust(?) spots on the cylinder but I doubt that the gun has ever been fired. I...

I have just acquired a .44 cal New Model Army revolver. It appears to be a replica of a Remington 1898. The revolver is in excellent condition except the hammer will not engage the safety notches in the cylinder. What are my options? The markings are many however, there is a small DGG in a...
