Ok so as some of you know , every now and then I like to take one of these old rifles and BASH!!!! It .
Ok well more like see how they could turn out if CVA would have done things just a little different and what can be achieved with these guns if a person just takes alittle more time in building them .
Through the years we have had many episodes of bobcats and re shaping the two piece stock . But I got to thinking since there was only a very small production run of the CVA Kentucky rifles in full stock and most have never seen one , I thought ; ok lets do a complete restock of the two piece stocked rifle .
For this build we replaced the factory flintlock with a Manton . the original lock , had seen better days . I also added double set triggers as was requested . this then called for and new trigger guard . I made a new side plate and also new RR pipes so as to go to a 5/16 RR vs. the rather large 3/8+ RR. I also made a new rear sight .
So here it is .
