Happy New Year from Iowa.
I recently acquired three muzzleloaders. Two that I believe are old CVA’s (not sure what model) and one TC 45 cal Hawken. The stocks were pretty poorly finished so I’ve stripped and refinished them but I have no idea how to evaluate the condition of the bore. I don’t even know if they’re safe to shoot. I’m a shooter but don’t have much experience with BP.
I’ll admit most of my interest in these at all was just to practice stock refinishing. I’m afraid I kind of like them
now.
Any help would be appreciated.
