Gorgeous Maple stocked CVA Mountain Rifle .50cal with 1:66 deep rifling twist (Patched balls only) 32" barrel length and 15/16" barrel flats. Rifle balances beautifully with the thinner barrel than does my 58cal Hawken with the 1" barrel flats.
Factory rear sight with adjustment screw (up & down)
For the barrel finish,I took an idea from an old Remington .22cal rifle that I have. The barrel was originally blued but due to age, the bluing has turned a plum brown with some traces of bluing here and there. I wanted this rifle to mimic that barrel and so I first plum browned the barrel, knocked it back with steel wool and applied a bluing agent over the brown which damn near imitated that old Remington barrel. The bore is clean with no rust or pitting, Rifling is crisp as you can see in the picture.
Triggers are double set and HAIR triggers. No adjustments were needs on the lock or the trigger setup.
German silver patch box and wedge key plates.
NO crack in the stock anywhere guys. The stock was finished with LMF nut brown and walnut stain, hand ribbed Truoil was also used for the finish. I have Aprox. 15 thin hand rubbed coats. This took me a few days to do to prevent that plastic feel when someone OVER USES Truoil. It does not have that cheap plastic feel to it.
I also have installed a Brand new #11 Stainless steel nipple. Hammer to nipple alignment is as good as anyone could ask for.
$375 Shipped to you door. It will be hard to find a Mountain Rifle as nice as this one.
50 yards, 80gr Goex 2f, .0490" round ball, .020" patch and Mr.Flintlock Patch lube.
