I am in the process of buying my first ml and I ran across the same report. If you go to the CVA website you will find that they had a voulentary recall just after this report was published. Since this recall no futher issues have been reported that I am aware of. If CVA rifles were blowing up and causing personel injuries either the law suits, or the Feds would put them out of business.
I have checked out most of the inline ml on the market and all of them have there pros and cons. It all boils down to how the rifle fits you, areyou sure it will do what you want it to, and does it fall into your budget if the answer is yes go for it.
