I think this thread posted by
Hunter8282 on another forum says what a lot of you have been trying to say for a long time. It seems to go the opposite direction that one individual has often said who is trying very hard to follow the CVA company line, with his statement there is nothing wrong with the CVA BP.
I bring it over here as I think it is informational and there are certainly a lot of CVA owners over here that could benefit from the information.
regarding my CVA Optima and Blackhorn 209. I have not been able to get reliable ignition. I have also emailed CVA to voice my displeasure. I am curious to see what they have to say.
"Thank you Daryl, we are extremely disappointed with CVA and the QRBP. The design is not reliable with Blackhorn. Seems that some people have good luck, but we are receiving a large number of calls with your same problem. It is ridiculous that a consumer would have to search for a solution to make a brand new gun fire! CVA says they are going to look at this, but don’t know when or if they will have something available. They don’t want people modifying their guns and they seem to hate to admit they ran the car in the ditch.
I would appreciate if you would email or call CVA and tell them your disappointment. We understand they are just telling people to use White Hots. Hodgdon is aligned with CVA now, so that makes sense, but there are many like you that want Blackhorn….period. We have talked to a large number of people in recent weeks that want to use Blackhorn and are buying guns other than CVA because of the talk going around the Internet. I don’t think CVA’s bloggers will be able to stay ahead of this and it is going to cost them sales. Would also appreciate if you would post your disappointment on any blog sites you might visit.
Our guys in the lab are pretty high on the T/C Omega with the regular breech plug, not the quick release."
Keep on Plugging Ron... Western loves ya!!!
