SOLD Percussion CVA .54 Mountain Rifle

This is a generally very nicely maintained Spanish made Percussion CVA Mountain Rifle in .54. The 32" barrel has a 1:60 something twist and mirror bore. Shot very little. Metal has fading browned finish. Wood is generally very good with the exception of a hairline crack behind lock and small chip behind tang. Some small dings on underside of buttstock. Nice rifle in a desirable caliber. $400 SHIPPED.

More Pics. Rifle from same collection as .45 flinter.

That will Sell quick- great looking rifle

Tough crowd. $400 SHIPPED.

Or, as in my case, broke crowd.

Does the serial number give any indication of year; at the beginning or the end?

That's a solid hunter right there, would be well bought for chasing critters

It is 5405. Seems reasonably early, but I have no real idea where numbers started or stopped. Anyone?

Hmm…my experience with CVAs had the two-digit year separate, and either in front of the actual serial number, or after it.

Just a couple of 0s in front of this number.

Nice example of the Big Bore Mountain Rifle here.

I had to go check my closet to make sure this wasn't my gun!

All the "Big Bores" I have seen were 58 cal.

We are gonna need a picture of your name and date next to all the big bores you have ever seen. You understand, to prove it’s you.

The only factory labeled "BIG BORE" rifles I have seen are the TC and Investarms 1" barreled 58's from the factory as production units.

Is there a point to this exchange? The CVA ad says BIG BORE .54 and .58. That should settle it. Thanks for your interest, though.

Cva big bore was available in 54 and 58cal. They did not come with a patch box

( TC was Big BOAR )

BTT.

Other than the fact that I’m broke, why in the world is this still here?
