Older CVA Mountain Rifle in 45 cal...

[Linsey Woolsey]

only one I own at the present moment..

She's a fine looking smokepole and as long as you are happy and putting the round balls on target then more power to you.  What's her name?

[Patocazador]

Did you add the tacks?

Had one just like her and against my better judgement  I traded it off to my brother.  I have been trying for years to get it back.  It was a good shooter.  The barrel was made in USA.  I got my hands on a flintlock one a couple years ago. But it is not the shooter the other one was.  They are good shooting guns.  A word to the wise hang on to her!

I have one like that. Old Faithful is the her name. Shoots straight and is always ready to shoot.
You have some nice gear! Thanks for sharing.

[Linsey Woolsey]

Her name is Linsey Woolsey...and the tacks were in here when I traded for her. I was thinking of making her a full stock flintlock, on the model of a JJ Henry

If you are only going to own one (for the time being, of course) that is a good one to own. I have one in .45 and it loves to shoot.

I've converted one pop lock to flint, had a couple done and owned two that were convertibles. Knowing the CVA breech plug design I would not even consider converting any CVA. Now that leaves you the opportunity to get another gun, specifically a flinter.

just wondering , did you rework or switch out the trigger guard , or was that how it was when you got it ?  I always liked the original guards on these !
