Here’s another one that’s just sitting collecting dust in the safe.
It’s an older CVA Mt. Rifle in .50 cal percussion lock.
I’ve owned this gun for years , but only fired it 4 times.
All 4 holes from a standing rest clover leafed at 25 yards,
A little low and left but in a tight group.
Soon after acquiring this gun I was bitten by the Flintlock bug,
so idle it has remained.
My normal load is 70 grn of fffg and used a .490 ball.
This rifle has a 32” barrel with a 1/66” twist,
As best as I can tell, it makes 1/2 turn of the rod in the 32” length.
This one has a concave cheek rest, which I found interesting ....
It appears to be a factory made gun with a good, clean bore.
It would make a great Rendezvous gun for someone looking for a
percussion cap rifle.
$350.00 shipped to your door in the lowe 48.
This is not one of the “Made in the USA “ guns, but it’s a shooter!
Here’s a few pics ...
More pics coming....
