    CVA Kentucky.45

    I built my CVA kit in the early 80s for about $25 in a close out sale. As an experiment, I used a light stain for the entire stock, then I wrapped the stock with twine. Afterward I applied a dark walnut stain. Finished with a spray polyurethane. Ron

    Uberti Walker nipple wrench

    CyrusP - I’m glad the Ted Cash wrench set worked out for you. I know it beats the heck out of some of those poorly manufactured nipple wrenches. It’s hard to be a good product. Ron

    1863 Zouave

    1863 Zouave
