My mission is to have the coolest rifle I can make with less than $50. And have fun.
I got an old CVA kit as a tip at work! It’s missing the brass butt and the two pins for connecting the stock (barf!) are rusty but I ordered those parts and a patchbox for cheap and started inletting and mocking up the parts.
The barrel doesn’t say Jukar or spain and there is no sideplate, just large countersunk brass washers. If the internet is to be believed that means it’s pre-85? It does have the hideous two piece stock but there is some meat there.
My first flintlock was a butchered Jukar kentucky kit that I re-did. It is a fun gun with a vent liner, L&R lock, and fake stained tiger maple. It also has bad parts fitmemt and pretty bad inletting work that I couldn’t save.
So I have less than $50 in this gun and I couldn’t possibly ruin its value by tinkering. The last time I did any wood carving I was twelve or thirteen so why not start whittling on this gun stock?
Let the butchery begin
