cva stock replacement

[taosdjango]

 I've recently acquired a CVA , Mountain Stalker , a real cheap plastic stocked muzzleloader. Who would have a wooden replacement for the stock, pre-inletted for the most easiest change out , would prefer to deal with Track of the Wolf but I don't know if any of their half stocks interchange easy enough. I don't want to put a lot of work into this gun.
   Thank you for any help.

Post a picture of the rifle if you can. I have a stock that will probably work.

A stock from Track Of The Wolf won't be suitable for a project like this. They don't make a pre-inletted stock for any of the CVA/Traditions guns, and if you buy a simple precarved halfstock with no inletting done you'll not only have to inlet your lock, trigger, and other parts, you will probably want to use a different buttplate than the plastic thing that's on the style of stock you now have. Extra expense to buy a buttplate, and more inletting, not to mention whether you go with brass or steel for any replacement parts they aren't going to match the existing triggerguard and other metal hardware. To top it all off, most of those inexpensive CVA and Traditions guns (Bobcat, Deerhunter, Fox River Fifty, Mountain Stalker, etc) have a barrel that actually measures 29/32" across the flats, dead-smack-center between 7/8" and 15/16", which will be your two choices of barrel channel diameters on a precarve; you either buy a 7/8" and enlarge the barrel channel or a 15/16" and hope that it's a somewhat undersized cut-out to minimize the amount of sloppy fit you'll have when the smaller-diameter barrel drops in.

I have a wooden stock off a Traditions Deerhunter, which as I indicated above is essentially the same gun as the Mountain Stalker. This one's cut for a 7/8" barrel channel owing to the original rifle having been a .32 caliber, but I have several Bobcat barrels of the slightly larger diameter, to use for checking the fit, and would include enlarging the barrel channel in the price of the stock. Alternatively you could strip all the parts off your rifle, send them to me, and I'd send you back a finished gun at no more additional price than the postage involved, so you'd be guaranteed everything fits up as it should. PM or e-mail me if you might be interested.

taosdjango Mongrel Knows his Stuff!!
Was this a new CVA or new to you?
A deal like that is a Good Deal
He can check the new rifle and make sure she is good to go!
I don't care much for plastic Stocks on BP guns but that seems to be the way things are going
The local Pawn Shop is full of them.
