CVA Bobcat

Hope this is in the right forum. I just picked up one used and it cleaned up nice bore looks good. My question is does anybody know where I can get a wood stock for one of these?

i have never seen a cva bobcat with anything other than a synthetic stock . if you wanted a wood stock you have have to build one yourself or find a stock that is close to fitting and modify it .

if this place has any left in stock,

deer creek products:  765-525-6181

Something like this? With the exception of the trigger guard, everything was purchased from Deer Creek Products.

That sure makes a neat little hunting rig, with the wood stock - I like it a LOT beter than plastic/fantastic !

How's it shoot ?

I ask, because many years ago I gave up on CVA's, due loose/tight spots in the bore(s) not being exactly conducive to good accuracy.

I called deer creek yesterday,she said she would have o look in the warehouse. She took my name & number but hasn't called back yet. Thats a nice lookin front stuffer! The piece that the nipple screws into is clogged and I'm having trouble getting the screw out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

65 grains of Pyrodex RS with either a PRB or Maxi - average group at 50 yards is 1"

As for cleaning out the nipple area - TC markets some pipe cleaners that have some type of stiff fibers in them. They work great for cleaning out that area.

Getting a stuck screw out can be a bear. Trying soaking it with Liquid Wrench. Another trick is to use the largest blade screwdriver that will fit in the slot. Clamp the barrel securely with the screw facing up. While applying pressure and twisting action on the screw, tap the end of the screwdriver with a hammer or mallet (kind of like a poor man's impact wrench).

It isn't absolutely necessary to remove the clean-out screw, many are not removable. My normal cleaning method for a half stock rifle is to pull the barrel, remove the nipple, stick the breech end into a bucket of warm soapy water and with a patch on the jag of the rod, pump water up and down through the bore. That will clean the drum between bore and nipple seat. You can then bend the end of a pipe cleaner and work it through the flash channel to get it clean and dry. Always remove the nipple, clean and dry it and give it a drop of grease before reinstalling.  The clean-out screw is optional and if it doesn't come out easily it is better to leave it alone than to bugger it up.
 I had one of the little Bobcats with the plastic stock and found that the pebble grain texture abraded my cheek even with only 50 grains behind a patched ball. It was reasonably accurate and nice to carry but not at all nice to shoot.
