MtMan-List: CVA Products

[TetonTod@aol.com]

I think we went this round once or twice before......

Like many others, my introduction to black powder was by way of an inexpensive
CVA Mountain Rifle kit back in 1975. The thing always shot well and I put a
lot of balls through it over the years. A few years back I had to change the
main spring as it had finally lost much of its spring.

I did notice that sometime in the mid 80's, CVA's products took a turn for the
worse and you couldn't give me anything they make nowadays. (Except if it were
real cold outside and i was out of firewood)

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think the original CVA products were
better than their later products, but even the early stuff doesn't come close
to being called "quality."  I have a nice semi custom rifle now, but I also
still have the CVA and it keeps on ticking.
