I bought a CVA sidelock about 6 years ago.It never worked right, it would only go off about every third try and it cost me several deer that first year i owned it.Turned out the hammer wasnt lined up right with the nipple.

I emailed them, called them, and everything else for about four months, they never responded to my emails and when I called they would tell me the customer service guys were all busy, please leave my name and number and theyd get back to me.I wound up buying a new Knight inline before season that fall because I couldnt get a reply and ran out of time.The gun still in my closet, still not working right and hasnt been out in 5 years.Ive talked to others whove had better luck with them however, not sure what the problem was with getting back ahold of me[:'(]

I almost forgot I had it, maybe I should get that old sidelock back out and try bending the hammer myself now that I feel a little more comfortable toying with them
