For Sale: Percussion Pistol and Rifle

[Chris Last]

They're not period for what I normally do but they're great pieces.

First is a 1978 CVA (Conneticut Valley Arms) Mountain Rifle with Percussion Lock. I assembled the kit for this one, and am pretty proud of how it turned out.

Based on a discussion with CVA, the gun is a 4 screw patch box serialized barrel that should be a Douglas Barrel. This is the better quality barrel and lock system of its time compared to more recent versions. Furniture is primarily blued with a brass patch box.

.50 caliber

32" blued barrel

Approx 48" overall length

Packaging said 1:32" twist

Maple stock

About 9-ish lbs.

They don't make the kits anymore and the newer version of the completed gun (with inferior lock and barrel) runs $250. I'm looking for $225, but willing to entertain offers.

Second is a Kentucky Pistol, partially assembled kit, again percussion lock. This is an older Pedersoli kit which now runs $200 for the kit. The one I have is missing the sideplate opposite the lock. You should be able to fashion one from some brass stock or even pick one up from Dixie Gun Works. I'm looking for $150 for the kit.

Let me know if any of you guys are interested or know someone who is. I could really use the cash to offset this other habit I have (damn artillery :))

Telling just isn't enough. Pictures do wonders when trying to sell something.

Fair enough!

Here's some pictures of the pieces from their respective sites. I will endeavor to get some up close pictures directly.
