What is the name of this thing??

[ETipp]

This is on the CVA Hawken that belongs to my wife. Its kind of a good idea in one sense, but not so good in others. It works just fine with 209's but they are difficult to obtain. Its also good for subs, but I use BP. Good for hunting in the rain, but bad if the cap is dropped, especially from a tree stand. And definitely not good for cold, old, bumbling fingers and/or for a quick follow up shot.

Haven't tried to remove it yet, but I am considering it due to availability of 209's. Can this be easily switched out for percussion caps?

The assembly simply screws into the hole for the nipple. Remove it and put a nipple in its place.

It looks like a Mag Spark. I still have one but I only tried it a couple times at the range. It became obvious after replacing a primer a couple times it is much easier to use a cap. I suppose if you were using those pellets it might be an advantage because they are supposed to be hard to ignite. If you need more spark use a musket nipple.

That's what I needed to know. It came on the ML when she got it. I don't like it and would like to replace it with a regular nipple but I haven't one on hand.

Mag spark. I bought a used muzzleloader once that had one. Awful thing to use. Took it off and threw it as far as I could. Replaced it with a regular percussion nipple.

its a henway

what era is the CVA? if you can determine what thread pitch the nipple is, you can get them from most any muzzleloader supply.

I have no idea the year model. Pretty sure this is a kit rifle but cannot prove it.

Definitely not a henway. It only weighs a few ounces.

@ETipp track has them and lists the correct ones for the various rifles. Pretty sure it's metric unless the drum is replaced and tapped otherwise.

I don't recall the metrc sizes. Have metric mental block. Never saw the reason for adopting it. I blame Snap On Tools .

Looks a lot like these. I think they use small rifle primers.

Here it is on a CVA Timber Wolf. Please excuse the sympathetic stock.

Sure does look like it. I'll pull the one on the CVA and see what it looks like down in there. As of now, just by looking at it, the base of the threads appear to larger diameter than standard nipples, but I will check and see.

No doubt. Getting ready to make an order from Track anyway.

The device looks like a Mag-Spark. The cap should come off by rotating it with your fingers. The base should have an Allen socket deep down inside, and will come out with a small hex wrench, although I have forgotten the exact size. Once you get it out, you can verify the thread size and pitch with a Screw Checker plate if you have one, or carry it down to the specialty fasteners section of the local hardware store. The should have the equipment for determining the screw size.

If the rifle is a CVA, it probably uses either a 6/1.0mm or a 6/.75mm nipple.

Thanks, Bob. That's what I'll most likely do before ordering. There's a somewhat nearby supply store that has a thread size checker.

My CVA hawken is 6x1.0 pitch nipple.

My CVA hawken is 6x1.0 pitch nipple.

Looked on Tracks site. They show two different ones. Descriptions are almost exact. Pretty sure the one I need is a 6-1 for $4.99

Its a Mag Spark adapter. Maulmart stores are covered in the 209 mz primers at $8.37 here in Paducak.

Never thought Walmart would carry 209 shotgun primers.
