cva

I inheared a rusty bore stainless cva 58cal with 32 inch barrel, about 1:48 twist, fires no 11 cap. It appears it was shot and cleaned but not properly and put away with a wet bore. I was just going to go to town on it using a 20ga bore brush, flush with diesel fuel and oil with clp. Unless...

Hello Everyone, I'm looking for a gun from my past. It's a .69 CVA flintlock blunderbuss kit. I believe they were made in Spain. If anyone has one of these laying around and wants to part with it, please let me know. Any condition is fine. Thanks! Regards, Charlie

I’m after a new muzzleloader before black powder season. I’m wondering what to get. I’m a purist, so I’d love to use a flintlock, but I don’t have the time to dedicate to really put one through its paces. I’ve determined to go inline with a flintlock in the future. That said, any thoughts? I’ve...

Took the wife's new rifle to the range Tuesday to do initial workups on what I hope to load for hunting, thought I would share my initial results into the hive mind in case anyone can use any of my data to help their own shopping/reloading goals. Rifle: CVA Cascade, 24" 1:8 6.5 PRC Brass...

Is anyone familiar with what this is a replica of? It's listed as "CVA ARMI SAN MARCO HARTFORD MODEL BLACK POWDER REVOLVER", although the barrel says Navy Arms. Google doesn't bring up much using the listing name (Mostly Hartford Model SAAs), and while I might be missing one of the odd, less...

Hey guys, I have this project derringer that I've disassembled and cleaned. You can see how corroded it was from the pics. Now I'm trying to reassemble it. I had to order a trigger spring for it, but I'm not sure how to install it? The trigger doesn't seem to want to come forward enough to...

Hi guys! I am having trouble installing the hammer springs on a CVA kit gun snake eyes derrringer. Is there a special tool required? How do you do this? I tried needle nose and couldn't do it. Any advice on how to do this? pics are from the gun as I got it. I disassembled, cleaned and am now...

One of the test beds I use when trying out new versions of of breech plugs is an old CVA Optima Pro. I noticed that the standard breech plug in this rifle is only supported by threads in the barrel; the 209 primers just barely contact the receiver. Looking at it, I decided that I could modify it...

I have been asked to repair an old - '70's? - CVA .54 caliber mountain rifle that is missing the drum, nipple and cleanout screw. The nipple and cleanout screw are not a problem but I've come up empty on the drum. Dixie Gun Works lists it as unavailable and it is in Track-of-the-Wolf's catalog...

I have been gifted a CVA Mountain Rifle in .50 cal. percussion. It is a kit he put together 30 years or more ago. He said he shot it once then cleaned it and has been stored since. Outside has a tiny bit of pitting but inside the barrel looks great.Not a spec of rust or residue when I cleaned it...

Would this pistol be too long/heavy to target shoot off-hand with a "standard" two handed pistol grip (without external support) versus having to have one's secondary hand on the pistol's fore stock? It weighs 3.7 pounds and is 18.5" overall. There are a few videos of people shooting it...

I have been looking for a cap-lock pistol to go with my T/C Hawken cap-lock rifle to shoot at informal BP matches. After looking for some time, I'm not really impressed with what's out there for the price. The best I have seen is the Lyman Plains Pistol. Now I'm considering a CVA Optima V2...
