Nobody can tell with only that info.
What is it, a Hawken? A Mountain Rifle?
A Kentucky? A,,,?
If you can find no other markings to identify the rifle a photo will help us help you :wink: :grin:

With the exception of the cap and ball pistols and the early Mountain Rifle (that is marked Made in USA) to the best of my knowledge ALL of the rifles and shotguns that were imported by CVA came from Spain.
Most of the Spanish guns were made by Ardesa.
The CVA cap and ball pistols were made in Italy.
As you are asking, I assume there is no "Made in Spain" marked on the barrel.
If this is true, there should be some markings on the barrel which are usually on the bottom flat.
These will say something like 700kp/cm and they represent the Spanish Proof Mark.

Its the Kentucky. Has the 2 piece stock. If you hit previous when you go to his picture, it shows a better view.
Nothing real fancy or worth anything in high value. They are a work horse meat and potatoes kind of gun. A lot of people get their start in muzzleloading on guns like that.
Looks like she could use a good refinish job.

Does it look like this?
That's the Kentucky alright,, a fine shooter if it's set up right.
They started with those things in 71`.
The pre-cursor was the Jukar. Tuff part about serial numbers is the digits don't always mean a sequencial order, they can contain other info like the run line, factory or shipment #,,
I'd guess with a 6 digit number your looking at one of the first few years,,1971-1974??
Just a guess mind ya. :wink:

I've got one of them, barrel reads the same with serial#0041721, bought it from a fellow forum member here. Absolute tack driver, I thank him every time I shoot it....
