CONNECTICUT VALLEY ARMS (CVA)

[Gtrubicon]

I wouldn’t trade or sell my USA made CVA mountain rifles for nothing, not even a Kibler. And I really want a Kibler SMR something fierce! I have one in 45 and 50, they are my go to rifles in accuracy and in fit. Love em.

My old cva mountain rifle seems to fit me better than the T/C rifle.

This is an old thread and at the moment I don't have the time to go through the whole thing but I'm sure the word "Accurate" popped up a few times.

Guess I got a good one when I bought my Mountain Rifle kit back in the late 70’s. I enjoyed splitting the ball with it.

They were not "inlet with a chainsaw".. :shake:

I have owned CVAs from all 3 decades of their existence...including early Traditions...
Never had any wood issues...and only two lock issues...A weak spring, and a crappy early 80's flintlock.....Aside from that, they have been great.
Sure their ramrods were junk....But I don't judge a gun by its ramrod....That's like judging a car by the tires.....

Two words best describe many CVAs.....
Functional.
Accurate.

I built a CVA Mountain Rifle from a kit around 1980. The inletting was good all around with no 'gaposis' that I recall. I think I used a different piece of wood for the ramrod and kept the end pieces. I made a few minor mods like removing the extra finger hook from the trigger guard. It turned out to be a nice rifle and shot well. I'll post some photos later.
