This muzzleloader my friend gave me has a bolt action and nipple for #11 cap.
I ordered a 209 conversion, but thinking it might be a little tough taking the cap off to add primers. It has some nice sights on it, but did order a scope. I think this might limit my space to work even more.
Anyone have one of these older CVAs?
This says RMEF on the barrel. I'm guessing Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation???
I really like this muzzleloader! It's light, so it will probably kick like a mule.

If you scope it try high rings or see thru rings and capping tool

Find the serial # (sometimes hidden under the stock) and give the CVA website a check for recalls. I don't know offhand if that model is one of the several that CVA has recalled over the years (most all for barrel bursts), but I don't want you getting hurt by being uninformed, brother. |

Hey, thanks! This barrel is unlike anything I've seen before. Black powder must be hard on them. I've never seen anything so pitted before. It's like an orange peel in there. I'll check those numbers. |

Good deal. BP is very hard on steel when it is not cleaned up quickly and completely. ISIS was making some crappy barrels for them for a while.  My first CVA I picked up at a yardsale for $50 because it had some light pitting in it. I shot a boxful of Buffalo Ball-ets out of it and it slicked up the bore some. A week later I find a stack of cards on the WalMart counter about a recall and CVA sent a NEW barrel. Gave that muzzleloader away to my uncle. |

I guess they still want these 95 and 96s back. I'm not expecting much from this gun, but am curious to shoot it. I hope to get a new one before next year. They're pretty cheap when compared to a new refrigerator. |
