CVA Blunderbuss

[wawabreakfast]

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

Check the auction sites. If it doesn't have to be a .69 this place has one but its .54 caliber. I know nothing about them so caveat emptor. https://muzzle-loaders.com/products/traditions-blunderbuss-kit-54-caliber-percussion

Just curious if you found the blunderbuss your looking for? I just happen to have one if your still looking. It's. 69 cal cva.

No need to mess around with that little stuff. Go with a 4 bore.

I saw a published pattern test of a kit built blunderbuss. May still have it in one of my boxes of stuff.

Guy shot patterns of shot with the flared muzzle.
Then he cut the flared end off the barrel and shot patterns with just a cylinder bore barrel, no flare.
Pattern density did not change.

The flare had no impact on pattern density. It was just there to make loading easier while being jostled in the seat of a coach or in the crows nest of a ship.

There is a 10 bore option at the bottom of this link.

Here is a link to a .75 and .62 though it appears they are no longer in the for sale catalog of the website.

Here is another .75 cal kit which looks a lot like the above one.
