I have a CVA Owner's Instruction and Safety Manual for a Wolf. The last page is about a voluntary recall. It says:
In August of 1997, CVA implemented a Voluntary Recall of all in-line rifle models with serial numbers ending in -95 or -96.
If you, or someone you know, have a CVA in-line with such a serial number, do not use or allow anyone else to use the gun under any circumstances. Call CVA immediately at
770-449-4687 for complete details and instructions on how to receive a replacement gun.
In May of 1999, Blackpowder Products, Inc. purchased the assets of Connecticut Valley Arms, Inc. and now operates under the trade name of Connecticut Valley Arms and/or CVA. Any claims related to the above-described Voluntary Recall should be addressed to Connecticut Valley Arms, Inc., not to Blackpowder Products, Inc. Blackpowder Products, Inc. assumes no responsibility for any products manufactured and sold prior to January 1, 1998.
I think I would want to know what year that Bobcat was made before I bought it.
