Just like to know alittle about em, got a guy ima do some trading with and I'm gettin a .45 caliber muzzle loader as part of the deal. Not really worried about the value, although that won't hurt. It doesn't have any writing or tags of any sort on it. It's a long rifle if that matters, looks to be in decent condition. He don't know if it fires or not, said just never tried it. If there's some info I can get, feel free to tell. I can post a pic if we need to.

     yep cva    juekar mfg. in spain , they came in kit's or assembled . pretty good little guns  it's the Kentucky version . you can find them all over the place and in pawn shops anywhere's from 100.00 to 150  . I shoot around 60 grains of triple f [fff] powder out of mine with .440 round balls and a .015 patch maximum load is .95 grains grains .  they do a pretty good group at 50 yards but you gotta be able to shoot good to get a good group at 100 yards  lol I am currently rebuilding mine and customizing it . I prefer to shoot my 50 cal. Hawkins , better long range gun , and I've got a little 32 cal for squirrels and possums  .  they are fun to shoot and AMMO AND POWDER  are easy to get right now , but I would stock up on powder if you plan on keeping and shooting it [ till Obama gets out of office ] they are talking about tightening up the black powder sales after the boston deal , as of now you can just by it off the shelf at bass pro or gander mnt. .  what you plan on doing with it when you get it ?

Honestly halfbreed I have no interest in it. I made a trade to help somebody out and ended up with it. If someone's interested in it just let me know. Whatever it's worth is what they can have it for. It looks to be in decent condition although I don't know anything about em so it may be in great condition or not. It's not rusted, and everything seems to be in working condition.
