i have one of each and can not tell a physical difference in them except that the CVA version has "BH 209" stamped on the face of it. The Western Powders one does come with the extras mentioned, which is a plus, but does cost a bit more. They have both been shot hundreds of times and I have never seen any difference in performance and both are still pristine.

sabinajiles, gave me a detailed comparison and that is what I was looking for. MD'S answer was fine, but not detailed like sabinajiles. I hope you understand.

The muzzle-loaders.com web site says they have both the CVA regular stainless and black coated stainless BH 2009 breech plugs in stock. The description for both say they come with an installation wrench, although my son ordered one from them a couple of months ago and it did not come with the wrench. You can also install them by wrapping the knurled outer portion with duct tape and using a small pipe wrench or large vice grips.

Not being a CVA owner myself, I've read posts where the CVA plug performed flawlessly during October sight-in at 55 degrees. But when muzzleloading season and 20 degrees arrived, hangfires occurred.
If it were my CVA, I'd be using the Western Powder one.
