I am listing one of my rifles.
It belonged to my step father and I haven’t shot BP in years.
It’s an old 70’s vintage CVA 50 cal.
I don’t have a bore scope or anything but it looks clean and in nice shape to me. Not sure what’s fair but thought I’d start at $275.00 plus shipping.
I’m a woodworker by trade so I’ll build a wood box for it and wrap it like a vase.

Nice gun! I can't remember seeing one quite like this, what model is it?
 
I think it is a Kentucky and to be honest a very nice one at that! Those guns are Notorious for just being plain old ugly hahaha and I love CVA! But this one was done very well, Would be a nice gun to start out or a gift for someone starting out
Thanks very much lbothell.
 
Not bad but per the rules you need to include a sheet of paper/cardboard, etc with your forum name and today's date with one of the pictures with the gun in it.

I wasn't aware of that model being produced in .50 cal.

Don't take any thing less than your offering price, depending upon its fitting of barrel to the stock breech face.
 
That's a nice one. I assembled my first kit like that one in 2010. My first venture into black powder. Got the pistol next. Then a revolver. Next thing that happened I had nearly 15 black powder guns.
 
I have that in flint, .45 cal. It shoots very well, lock speed not great compared to better locks but what the heck, not an expensive kit. I built mine as my second rifle, after my CVA Mountain in .50 cal. Completed it around 1979.
I think that is a fair price to start.
 
Can you easily remove the nipple? Sometimes these get neglected and the nipples rust in place (through improper cleaning and/or lack of oiling before storage).

These can be incredibly accurate. People have won competitions using these against custom muzzleloaders. And you can upgrade the locks using and L&R if you want (or if you wear out the original).

I do want to try a kit. I don’t hunt but I love to shoot. My interests are more WWI to the Cold War era. Admittedly because I’m too impatient but these old long rifles are just cool.
