I have the CVA Pennsylvania in flint also. Not many of them around, so a rather unique rifle.

Howdy!
I acquired a CVA kit some years ago which I put together, but I can not remember if it was the Penn or the KY gun. Anyway, it was a cap lock and I converted it to flint.
I havent shot it in years since replacing it with other guns more suitable for my needs-wants. I should get rid of it.

Yes you really should, it deserves a home (mine?) where it would be appreciated and used!

Enjoy your Shenandoah as well. I picked mine up about 15 years ago, you'll love the 1:66 twist with PRB. Traditions has quit making them, so their availability will soon start drying up. Those who do have them don't get rid of them - there's a message there. CVA Pennsylvania :hmm: never seen one. Do they have a split stock or are one piece. What's the patchbox like? Got any pictures?

The Pennsylvania rifle has a one piece stock and comes with a patchbox. The Kentucky has a two piece stock and has no patchbox. If you built a Kentucky kit, you would remember having to measure and drill the two holes for the pins to hold the barrel to the stock. (I'll bet I measured and re-measured a dozen times before I drilled them!)
I'm going off memory here, so I might be wrong :idunno: , but I believe the Pennsylvania is a couple of inches longer than the Kentucky rifle.
Hope this helps some in remembering which one you have.

My first black powder rifle was a CVA penn rifle. It was great and I miss it. I got it from an old guy down the road. He gave me all the fixins and a leather case. I sold it when I left the country for a while. Id love to find it again. The old guy is gone now I miss him.
