CVA Mountain Rifle Kit

I have a .50 cal percussion kit, made in USA with a USA maple stock. CVA was in Haddam Ct. at that time. It spent many years in a basement in Aroostook county here in Maine. I bought it a few years back and I'm undecided whether to sell it or put it together. I have two other Mt. rifles, maybe I should sell them. The drum set up was not in the barrel when I bought it. A friend told me it was no big deal, he had had many out. I know it voids the warranty but who really cares. It was an interesting set up and I have no idea what they were thinking when they designed it. It's back in the barrel an lined up properly. I believe it to be a later version of the USA made barrels. I didn't know they used maple stocks!Looking for opinions.
Thanks

Take a good look down the barrel. I had a CVA kit rifle in the 70's that was terrible. I fought with it for a couple of years trying to get it to shoot and by then it was too late to do anything about it. It went to a scrap bin.

It has a great bore!

That's good. I don't know what the deal was on mine. It slipped through somehow. I currently own 3 Spanish made guns and all are fine shooters.

ive built 3 of those, american barrels made by deer island, better twist than they make now. maple stocks. gave one to our minister, sold two to a neighbor. would not take less than 900 bucks for any of them if i still had them. cryo treated the barrels. they cut center every time at 100 yards. shot a big antelope buck with one of them. that 50 cal 1/60 twist is the best beyond the best out their. take the eye out of a snake at 100 yards with light or heavy loads behind a nicely patched round ball. do not give that gun away, and if you sell it make sure they pay what it is worth.it is rare and a real winner.

I solved my dilemma, I sold to a friend for $210.00. I have so many that I don't shoot now, I have 75, probably more. It's time to part with many of them. I believe that I'm addicted to muzzle loaders. Am I really if I'm willing to part with some? If you know someone starting out, have them contact me.I'd like to help them get started.
