Gentlemen,
It's been forever since I posted anything, and I had a question....
YEARS ago I had (and sold) a CVA Mountain rifle. It was my first bp rifle at 16. I regretted selling it in later years. But, I like to stay pretty authentic.
To me, the drop on the old cva's seem too straight for a pc rifle. The lock seems light and the nose cap seems large and thick. Does anyone know how correct these were and if there is anything period pre 1865 that looked like their profile?
Thank you,
David
