P. GENERAL CLEANING AND MAIN-
TENANCE
Blackpowder and Pyrodex are very corro-
sive. Therefore, careful cleaning of your muzzle-

The barrel attaching system on most CVA firearms allows for the barrel to be
removed for easier cleaning without disassembly. The...

THE TWO MOST COMMON CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. If the projectile is not seated firmly against the powder charge, stop immedi-

the barrel.

attempts (as explained in the “Loading and Shooting” Section).

S. SCOPE MOUNTING
CVA In-Line rifles are drilled and tapped for easy scope installation. Do not drill
additional holes in the barrel as this could weaken its structure and contribute to
a rupture, causing injury and/or death to yourself and others. Scopes should be
mounted according to manufacturer’s instructions. CVA’s Rapid Remount Scope
Mount System™ (AC1655) allows the shooter the option of a quick detachable
scope mounting system, that returns to the zero point when reinstalled.
