RE: Winchester Apex

[align=left]Dangerous Muzzleloadersby Randy Wakeman[/align]In my opinion,far too many people have had their lives destroyed by reportedly using cheap imported muzzleloaders as directed by manufacturer's printed instructions. There are no muzzleloading standards, and there is no governing body on the American muzzleloading scene to effect any semblance of quality control or reasonable safety testing.
There is a huge, ever increasing body of evidence that shows CVA branded guns (BPI, CVA Winchester Muzzleloading, New Frontier, etc.) can be quite dangerous with factory recommended loads.

The CVA Apollo gunhad so many personal injury claims filed against it that the "old CVA" was forced into receivership. I have seen nothing to indicate that theresub-standard proofs and poor quality control is any better now than it was then.
