I'm getting ready to buy a 45/70 to convert to a smokeless ML. Just checking to see if anyone has the discontinued CVA Apex in 45/70 that they might be interested in selling. I am up for one that has already been converted as well. Thanks, Steve

They are like hens teeth now days. If you don't find one, the CVA Scout is a good option and all I've seen shot very well.
209 primers work but an LRMP module system is worlds more reliable. There are 2 major LRPM systems out there and both work well.

Who do you recommend to do a conversion on a scout?

I'm sorry, but I don't know where to send one. A friend shipped mine to someone that had done a conversion for him in years past but isn't offering them to the public right now. Mine was done as a favor to a former customer.
Either of these should get you going in the right direction.jeff gra":gqvha9u2 said:
Luke Horak with Arrowhead Muzzleloading. 319-558-8621, https://www.arrowheadrifles.com/
Hollis Weber with Center Punch USA, 319-821-0712, https://www.centerpunchusa.com/
Both build great smokeless guns and are very knowledgeable/reputable.

Another one is hankins custom rifles
Fairly certain you can get a complete gun from Hollis as well, without buying the gun to send to him. Just remember it'll have to go thru ffl if you buy a 45-70 from either Hollis or Hankins.

Wondering if TN is ever going back to a ML season in the CWD zone. I might sell my smokeless.

Glad I finally got my stuff back from him. He had my barrels for 2 months or so. Had I not gotten them back before left for vacation in July I would have made a visit. He done good work, but his communication was terrible.Last i heard is Center Punch is still MIA.

The guy on MML just posted he got his back yesterday. He had to shim it because it was cut too deep.
Glad he is getting stuff back to you guys and i understand they had lots of storm damage in that area in late August. The vast majority of guys have been very happy with his work.

Any idea what he had done. Not sure I'd be pleased paying big money for a shimmed barrel.
