Got a new toy.

I've been wanting one of these for a looong time but they are always out of stock or discontinued but I regularly check gunbroker to see if one pops up and finally I came across this one. I ended up getting into a bidding war with somebody else so I paid a bit more than I wanted but at least I own one now. Pretty nifty on the swing out barrel design and should be fun to mess around with. It's a .31 caliber smoothbore for anyone that's not familiar with them. It would be pretty easy to make one and I think that'll be my next project.

Thats interesting. Who makes it?

This one is a CVA. I believe Traditions used to make them also.

I don't know where it says that. Find some CCI#10's and see what they fit . . . I just gave away a tin of them because they don't fit anything made in the last 30 years . . . they're so small they won't even start on anything . . .

I don't even bother with 10's every gun I own has been converted to 11's the only revolver i still own is the first gun I ever built a CVA walker and I can't hold it any more even 2 handed! All that being said I shoot with a bunch of tight a**es who won't stock up on supplies and have made a nipple for each of their rifles so they can shoot 10's when they can't find 11's they want to keep buying a tin and a pound at a time I will never understand

Clearly visible on the frame in the photo; CVA!

I have one of those from Traditions. It’s gold plated .

Pretty cool

armi san marco. No ramrod

the breech face nipple thing looked funky and i wondered if it took a musket cap but apparently its a regular nipple...

Thats a beautiful little gun! I want one! Oh for a bottomless wallet lol!

Mine must be bottomless. Money just falls out of it and disappears.

Same here. Lol! Im a sucker for guns and tools and both are expensive! I think I will start building my own BP guns. Hopefully that will be easier on the wallet.

Just fired it into my testfire drum for the first time with 7 grains of triple 7 and got 497fps. It's a fun little thing.
