CVA Accura V2
Just some feedback on a recent purchase if anyone is interested. Bought a CVA Accura from Cabelas a couple weeks ago. Based on research I had done and advice from a friend, I stocked up on Blackhorn powder. Took the gun to the range and had terrible firing. 75% of the time I got hang fires or no fires. Hard to tell how accurate it was with those issues. Called CVA and they said it was a known issue with Blackhorn. They had a special breech plug to solve the problem. I ordered a couple ($15 each). While I was waiting for those, I bought some 777 to test. Didn't have any ignition problems and tried 4 or 5 different bullet/sabot combos. Accuracy was reasonable, but not impressive. Groups were between 1 and 2 inches at 50 yards. After about 50 shots, the firing pin failed to strike the primer. Looked like the fouling from the firing pin had clogged up the firing pin hole. I cleaned it up with a wire brush and solvent until it would pop out again when I dropped the hammer. Worked for another 20 or 30 shots then got plugged up again. I called CVA and they said I needed a slotted thin screwdriver bit to remove it. They said I could make one or or they gave me a part number for Brownells. I made one and tried to remove it, but it was stuck tight. I buggered up the bushing trying to get it out. I stopped before I really damaged it so someone with the right tool could still remove it and sent it to CVA. Called them a week or two later to see how it was going. They acknowledged that they got it, but said that warranty work takes 6 to 8 weeks to repair. Not very happy with CVA right now. My opinion they should have included the alternate breech plug and tool to remove the firing pin bushing it they were known issues, plus included some instructions. Really not happy with 6 to 8 weeks to remove a screw. I would recommend a T/C.
