Almost done!
They never made the CVA Mountain Pistol in .54cal, so I took a spare Hawken barrel, cut a new dovetail for the wedge key and the rear sight. I ended up going with a more user friendly 7" barrel. So far, shes shootin pretty! I crowned the section I cut off, and later on, I'll breech the other longer section and make a nice bear pistol set up!
Time to go find my taller front sight and get that installed. Shame too! It shot perfectly center with 40gr 3f.
3 shots fired off hand from 10 yards, 30gr Gearhart Owen 3fg, .015" patches and .530" round balls.
