ONESHOT...
Lots of speculation so far, but nope, your new rifle is not a parts gun at all. :nono:
Rather it's a standard model Mountain Rifle from the late 1980's. For this third version of the standard MR they dropped the patch box, changed the butt plate and trigger guard furniture from steel to what they called pewter type (same as the nose cap), used a trigger guard that is shaped like most of their other rifle models had, and changed the stock wood from the select hardwood used on the bulk of the other Spainish rifles before it to walnut. USA rifles and the earliest Spainish rifles had maple stocks.
It's probably a rare find as this was near the end of CVA's sidelocks, so maybe not a lot of them were sold. Back then they retailed for a Hamilton less than three Franklin's.
I still have all my hair and its not grey, but my full beard is. :grin:
Saved you a trip to the library (which wouldn't have helped you anyway). :wink:
