Default RE: What happened to CVA Traditional Models?

I put together one of the early 50cal CVA hawken kit years ago. It had the 2 barrel keys, pewter style end cap and double triggers. I was kinda upset because CVA had advertised that it was made in the USA. I found the lock had "made in Spain" stamped on the inside. I replaced the issued sights with a fixed buckhorn rear and a german silver frontsight.I got lucky with those sights and was able to maintain a 4" group at 100 yards off the bench without any further adjustment. As it turned out that CVA was the most accurate round ball rifle I ever had. It outperformed myJ. Browning Hawken, and 50cal Hatfield. My son inlaw still hunts with it and has never lost a deer due to the limitation of the round ball.
