I have soldKnight, T/C,and NEF in most models, in good numbers. I have worked onvery few. I WOULD NOT SELL CVA and TRADITIONS unless the customer ordered it because I haveseen toomany and I did not want to have the headaches of my name being associated with theirs, I figured let Walmart deal with them.CVA / Traditions same company or not are less expensive for a reason, some models are cheap made.

I have never seen a traditions or CVA that would not shoot accuratly that was the fault of the gun.I admitthat price can be a big concern to someone on a limited budget and that CVA/Trad can help with that. Most people will not shootenough to wear out a CVA/Trad. But as someone who loves firearms and muzzle loaders history in american made craftmanship I look and the MODERN(last 10-15 years)CVA and Traditions in-lines and see CRAP!

If price is an issue get a NEF, I am no fan of them in high-pressure cartridges, butas a MZ you can't beat. If you don't want an accidental discharge due to slipped hammer don't redesign the gun, it uses a striker that must engage at full cock before the gun will fire.

Also for the CVA in-line avid. The day before our 9 day MZ season a customer came in with brand new disassembled CVA(he wanted to clean good and could not re-assemble). It looked like a can of worms and had no parts diagram with it. We were busy so I called CVA for help and was told there was only one person that had any experience with these guns and he was on vacation, send the gun back. I explained there was no time to send back, they explained they were sorry. I ask for a drawing to be faxed or e-mailed, they declined. I got the gun back together without CVA help, I did not charge the customer, I told him he had been screwed bad enough that week.
