I am new to the forum and am new to bp shooting, however I think that they are fun and there is a lot to learn. I am a youngster at 24 years old and it is a challenge sometimes to find information on frontstuffers although I have been reading alot about them and am also trying to join a local muzzleloading club. I have managed to get a hold of 4 good mz's however each one needs something here or there to make them functional. My question is, is there a place to get CVA parts or am I sol? Also I just would like to get feed back on CVA's or are we only alowed to talk about imports? The guns that I have are CVA Hawken 50 cal. precussion, and CVA Huntrer carbine 50 cal also a precussion, and a CVA shot gun not sure what gauge. Also eventually I would love to start casting balls and etc as well as build a rifle or two. So I invite any type of reply. I am here to learn and share what ever I can. So I look forward to being a part of this forum!

Howdy Andy,
Welcome,
I think any question on anything made any where would be OK. That is why this forum was started, no one will be put down for what they shoot or where it comes from.
OK, CVA.
Most, if not every arm sold by CVA is an import. They don't make them. If you can't get the parts needed for the ones you have from them, try Deer Creek. They carry a LOT of parts for muzzleloaders.

Deer Creek Products
6989 E Michigan Rd
Waldron, IN 46182
(765) 525-6181

They have no internet site or e-mail. So you have to call them.

Good Luck,
Uncle Lee

Hi Andy
I have a 30yr old cva kentucky rifle. Just got it cheap,at a gun show. As was said ,nearly all are made in Spain. Mine was. What is wrong with yours? The sites like Auction Arms and Gun Broker often have cva parts for sale in the black powder sections. Usually the locks and hammers. I am also a home gunsmith and well into doing what it takes to keep even the junkers working. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you . The Other Ned

I will check into that place as well as auction arms. The CVA carbine all it needs is a screw to hold the barrel in place, a front sight which is adjustable, and a ramrod. The CVA Hawken needs a lot more it needs a tang to hold the barrel in, trigger guard, drift pin, triggers, and a ramrod. The problem is that when all of this stuff was purchased I was not there. The club that I am trying to join had a member pass and he had an entire house full of any and everything from stocks, locks you name it. Well by the time my friend got there it was a little picked over. So in order to get a complete gun you had to buy three of them to get one functional one. That is okay though because I love to work on the guns and tinker and refinish and all that, it is just that the parts I have do not match what I need. I have looked online a little bit but have not really had much luck. I also have not had much time lately to play with them but I think Santa might be bringing me some accesories for my Dremel and some books too. Trust me I will probibly have plenty 'O' questions as well as stories to come, so I will keep you posted as to what I find and thanks for the advice.

P.S. Also one more ? does anyone know if you need an FFL to purchase ML's and parts off of the internet?

"P.S. Also one more ? does anyone know if you need an FFL to purchase ML's and parts off of the internet?"

It is up to the laws of your state and who you are buying from.
Some states have really stupid laws and some sellers won't ship without an FFL because of that.
