HELLO ALL, IM LOOKING TO BUY A 50 CAL. CVA MAGBOLT HUNTER IN LINE. A WOMAN SENT ME PICS OF ONE SHE HAS FOR SALE.
PROBLEM IS THE BREACHPLUG is totally messed up. From the pics she sent me of this area,it looks as if someone used a screwdriver to try to remove and hacked it up pretty badly. Were the slit is,i call them ears,but there nothing there anymore.
This is a Connecticut Valley Arms Magbolt 150 rifle that is in excellent condition. The caliber is.50. The bore is excellent with a 1 in 28' twist. The ignition is a 209 system. There are scope mounts as shown. This gun needs no FFL for shipping.
I have some kroil to penatrate the threads to unfreeze the plug,but im concerned that the threads are stripted on the barrel,it it easy to replace the barrel with a bergara barrel? My other concern is that the gun was fired,and being the breach plug was not able to be removed,that the barrel is now pitted. Thoughts anyone?? Hi guys,and thank you for your advice. Here what ive found out so far,the pics that were sent to me today,were fuzzy and not very clear on the ears of the plug. But from what i could make out,it was pretty messed up.
Her husband told me that, when the plug was being removed,they didnt have the proper tool to remove the plug,and its buggered up. He says,with the proper tool it can be removed. Im thinking i can borrow my youngest sons tool to remove,but only after i use kroil arround the threads first,and let set awhile. The seller also says the gun comes with a new breach plug,so thats 15.00 i dnt have to spend. He is asking 75.00 for the in line,however im going to offer 60.00 and go from there. I did call cva today,they reffered me to deer creek,witch i called,and they told me they have either blued or stainless full barrel replacement with reciever area and all for 95.00 witch means if the barrel is fubar,then all i have to do is remove the 1 screw inder the stock,and replace with the new.
I started out with this same gun,then advanced to the t/c encore pro 209x50,and even went as far as getting a t/c encore pro 209x50 15 inch pistol as its mate. I gave the cva magbolt to my son.and he just loves it.and has taken a few deer with it. So i was thinking it would make a great choice for my daughter in law for her first.
The seller is going to send me better pics tomarrow,so we will see whats what,then. It truley is a great gun for the money,i bought mine new from bass pro for 139.99 back in its day. And i was pleasnatly happy with the price they told me for a new drop in barrel/action. 95.00 for either blue or stainless. My daughter in law has alot of tom boy in her, she loves deer hunting,and shooting. I bought her her first new bow last yr.
Pse spyder,and she outshoots my son,her husband. Does anyone here know what yr.
They brought the magbolt out?? It may help me knowing this when were talking price-lol- if my daughter in law can handle a 12 gauge using 3 inch shells,she can do the magbolt no problem. Wrote: Deer creek did have a new barrel for my hunter bolt mag, I ordered today my question is I hear people use bore butter to 'season ' the barrel. I 've never done this before.
What does it do? Thanks Stay away from bore butter! Its junk unless used for patched ball lube. No such thing as seasoning a modern day steel barrel, in the old days it might have helped the old iron/poor quality steel barrels but it does nothing for todays barrels. After cleaning, just follow up with a good quality bore oil.
Birchwood Casey Barricade, RIG #2, Montana xtreme gun oil, montana xtreme bore conditioner, those are all good quality oils to use. Hey Sniper, I can't speak with certainty, but your description of the gun's malady sounds much like one I acquired last summer. It was a CVA Buckhunter.50cal 209 that someone had cross-threaded the breech plug to the rear of the barrel.
Luckily the previous owner had secured a replacement plug but abandoned the project. I obtained a thread tap of 5/8'x18 TPI for less than $10 off of Ebay and carefully redressed the back of the barrel. That little rifle shoots like a rocket and will hold it's own to my 700 ML!
I hope you can remedy the gun's condition.
