It is beautiful. Only (1) more beautifuller and not pictured here..... CVA Mountain Rifle. Biggest mistake I made 12-13 years ago was buying my full-stock Traditions Shenandoah and NOT buying a CVA Mountain Rifle or Lyman Great Plains instead.

Using that very thin red hose attached to the nipple, to clean out the drum, is a real PITA. Especially since the bolster screw is frozen shut, during my five year run using 777 FFF.

I need to get that screw out of there. That's a project I'll line-up for the next week ahead, along with replacing those 1882 open sights with a pair of Williams fiber-optics. My 63 year-old eyes demands it.
