    custom barrel makers?

    Who can/will build a custom barrel for a CVA mountain rifle stock? This rifle has a 54 cal barrel. I would like a 50 cal slow-twist barrel made for it.

    Buffalo ball-ets?

    Just recently got a cva big bore mountain rifle in 54 caliber. Since I am off work on medical for a few weeks, I am refinishing it. As I understand, it has a slow twist 1 in 66 barrel. Since Buffalo bullet co. No longer makes their ball-et, is there anyone that makes a comparable projectile?

    brass corrosion/tarnish?

    Not sure where to post this, but here it goes. Picked up a CVA big bore Mtn rifle last month on GB. The rifle is in surprisingly good shape, but me being the person I am, would like to refinish it. The brass butt plate seems to be pitted with some form of corrosion, brown in color. Does...

    Cva mountain rifle

    Just won an auction for a CVA mountain rifle in 54 percussion. It needs a little work and a few parts, but this will be a winter project gun. I am stoked!

    CVA hawken worth?

    While perusing a local pawn shop today, I came across a CVA hawken in 50 cal. Barrel looked clean, but god-awful clear coat finish on the stock and a ton of brass tacks all the way down the stock, and a replacement brass ramrod. The pawn shop owner had a price tag of $170 on it, but quickly...

    Pedersoli Dixie Penn issues

    Howdy experts, I am having an issue with a Dixie Pennsylvania made by Pedersoli (old style lock, bought it used). The hammer/cock oftentimes does not lock back in either full or half cock, and when it does, any slight touch to the hammer will make it fall forward. I thought maybe the sear was...

    Cva gamester parts

    Hi all, My lgs has a stock for a cva gamester in a loose parts bin. What was the diameter of the barrel for these? Were they interchangeable with any of CVA's other sidelocks? I got to thinking about a project beginner gun for some friends. Thanks in advance.

    Front/rear sight questions

    I have a lefty flint long rifle in 45 cal that I purchased from a friend, and it has a buckhorn sight that I want to replace with a standard sight. Is there a calculation for height of front sight vs rear sight groove? Does barrel length factor into this? I was thinking of starting with a...

    Old style and new style Pedersoli locks

    I have an older Dixie Pennsylvania flintlock made by Pedersoli which I was told has an "old style" lock. Parts availability is iffy now, and I am wondering if the "new style" locks will fit? If not, is there a replacement lock that may fit without too much trouble?

    Hopkins & Allen Kentucky price?

    Local guy near me is selling a Hopkins and Allen 45 cal. Kentucky rifle in percussion. He wants $100 for it, and says it needs a new trigger return spring. Depending on barrel condition, is this worth it? I know these are no longer made, but how is parts availability? It looks from the pics...

    Coca Cola for rust removal?

    Seeing all the different concoctions and methods for rust removal, I have read on some cast iron cooking websites and forums that some people use Coca Cola for rust removal. They just pour it into the pan and let it soak. I was wondering if anyone uses that method for rust removal in their...

    pedersoli Ky vs. Navy Moll?

    Are there any differences in the pedersoli Navy Moll and the Kentucky pistols other than the brass butt butt plate on the Navy Moll? They look almost identical, but it seems the Navy Moll is priced much higher? Is the quality that much better or is the brass butt plate all that separates them...
