Introducing the CVA Kentucky Rifle – a classic piece of American history. Despite its poor condition, this .50 BPM (Black Powder) black powder rifle and muzzleloader is a collector's dream. With a fair bore condition and an overall worn finish, this piece is ideal for parts, repair, or decoration. Its non-operational status only adds to its historical charm. The rifle comes with its original cleaning rod, adding to its authenticity.
Crafted in Spain, this rifle features a distinctive octagonal barrel and a classic 28" length. The wood Monte-Carlo stock is adorned with a brass Leman-style trigger guard, brass storage compartment, and brass crescent buttplate, enhancing its antique aesthetic. The sights include a rear fully adjustable semi-buckhorn U notch, and a front adjustable dovetail blade.
The CVA Kentucky Rifle is steeped in history, having been conceived during the early 19th century on the American frontier. Known for its percussion cap action, this rifle played a significant role in the transition from flintlock mechanisms, offering better performance in wet weather. Despite being a single-shot weapon, the Kentucky rifle is renowned for its accuracy, with its longer barrel allowing for more complete combustion of the black powder.
While the finish on the barrel is worn down to bare metal and the trigger is non-functional, this only adds to the unique character of this rifle. The wood stock bears various dents and scratches, testifying to its age and use. Note that it is sold AS IS.
Whether you're a history buff, a black powder enthusiast, or a re-enactor, the CVA Kentucky Rifle is a must-have. Its .50 BPM caliber provides an authentic black powder shooting experience, transporting you back to frontier life. The case-hardened finish adds to its durability and aesthetic appeal, while the percussion action lends an impressive level of authenticity to this replica.
