    CLOSED New Orleans Ace .44 wanted

    I picked up a NIB New Orleans Ace pistol kit by CVA at an estate sale but she’s missing the grip. Does anyone out there have a grip or a broken pistol for sale so I can finish the kit? Thanks much! -Keyhole

    Hello from the Hoosier State (Indiana for global members).

    My name is Rich, not sure exactly how I found this forum (or it found me). I presume while I was looking at the Indiana State gun, The Grouseland riffle. It kindle my interest to maybe tackle a vintage CVA kit my wife gave me as a gift back in the early 1980's. Anyway, just been reading about...

    WITHDRAWN CVA Pennsylvania rifle $225 shipped

    I believe this a CVA Pennsylvania rifle in .45 cal. I picked this up recently, but haven't fired it myself. It has a few gouges and scrapes in the wood and looks like an undersized nipple in the drum. There is a small crack in the stock behind the lock and also on the opposite side where the...

    CVA Percussion to Flint and beating the Dead Horse

    Hello, new member here. I have owned a Traditions full stock flintlock since the mid 90's, and fired it irregularly. After moving from the PNW (largely due to firearms regulation) to West Virginia, I was looking to do a build of a traditional early Pennsylvania rifle. I spent COVID de-Bubba-ing...

    CVA Derringer Trigger Guard

    Hey All, I'm currently refinishing an old CVA Derringer and the trigger guard is beyond saving (original owner cracked it in half.) I've tried brazing but it's an awkward crack so I'm looking at some advice on replacing it. Deer Creek Products is out of stock and I haven't had much luck...

    Remove difficult pitting suggestions

    Hey, Does anyone have any suggestions on removing pitting from this area on a CVA Derringer? The shape makes it really akward to get any kind of file or sand paper on it. What kind of pitting (if any) is acceptable if I'll be finishing with LMF?

    CVA Philadelphia Derringer Build

    Hello Everyone, I'm starting a new thread to document my next build of 2 CVA Philadelphia Derringers. I received these two at the same time I inherited about half a dozen other muzzle loaders. They are slightly different from each other but otherwise in pretty decent shape. Pictures below...

    CVA Tennon Pin Mod/Upgrade

    Hey, I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but wanted to share the idea in case anyone is interested (bear in mind it's also probably not historically accurate): I'm a big fan of completely removing the barrel for cleaning, but was hesitant about constantly removing the tenon...

    Cleaning a Barrel with a Threaded Breech Plug

    Hello Everyone, I'm not sure if I'm over thinking this or not, but I had a question about cleaning a barrel with a threaded breech plug. My method for cleaning barrels is to completely remove it from the rifle, stick the aft end into a sink full of hot soapy water, and then use the plunger...

    CVA Kentucky Rust Blue Barrel Prep

    Hello All, I have a few other threads regarding using LMF for rust bluing but thought I'd tackle this question with a new thread. I'm hoping I can get some opinions on the attached image. The rest of the barrel has been sanded down to 400 grit but I have this weird "pit" near the back end of...

    CVA Kentucky Rifle Barrel Pin Diameter

    Hey Everyone! I'm putting together an old CVA Kentucky Rifle kit and had a question about the barrel pin diameter. I ordered new pins from Deer Creek (the kit didn't have any when I received it) but they seem awfully large. Especially when you compare it to the barrel tennons. The pins...

    Help Fixing Up Inherited Muzzleloaders

    Howdy Folks! As the title implies, I recently inherited a handful of muzzle loaders that are all in various stages of disrepair. My best guess is that these were all old kit guns since none of the steel has been blued. From what I know, they've all been sitting in a garage for the past 20...

    SOLD Kit Stock for CVA/Jukar/ Traditions Kentucky Pistol

    Here's an unfinished stock for a CVA/ Jukar type Kentucky pistol. Most of the inletting is already done. A CVA Kentucky lock fits mostly, and the barrel channel fits the flats of a .45 Jukar rifle barrel, although all the inletting just needs some final fitting. Slight chip missing from the...

    Advice / Help with Removing Paint off of a Hawken Rifle

    Hello freetrappers! I acquired this Hawken from a good friend. He had difficulty selling thanks to this terrible tan paint job. You can see just a glimpse of the beautiful red finish underneath near the lock. Do you recommend using a heatgun or paint stripper? I'd personally go with the heat...
