I came up with a CVA 1400 flask with a broken spring. Brought it home from FL and just got around to checking it out. It was in a box of stuff.
When I got it out and saw that the spring was busticated, I thought, "Well, CRAP"
Then I started fiddling with it and I now think that it actually works better with the spring broken. I always have a tough time holding the lever in the open position with one hand and trying to hold the revolver cylinder with the other. Just a tiny bit awkward.
But with the spring broke, I just open it up, tip it over, close the gate and it seems to work pretty well. (The spring makes it hard to hold open but with no spring it stays open until you close it. Easy to do.)
So I started thinking about why CVA would deliberately design a flask that is hard to use.
The answer hit me like a lightening bolt.
They had to run the design through the attorney.
As of this moment, I am removing the spring from my other CVA flask.
