- HI GUYS IN THIS VIDEO I WILL SHOW MY ANTIQUE CVA MOUNTAIN MUZZLELOADING HUNTING RIFLE. I WILL TALK ABOUT HOW TO SAVE THESE AND BRING THEM BACK INTO THE FIELD FOR HUNTING DEER AND HOG.. IN TODAYS VIDEO WE GO TO THE SHOOTING RANGE TO SEE IF THE OLD GIRL CAN STILL GO HUNTING..THANKS FOR WATCHING
Thanks for doing this series, Blackie. When you started emptying your gear onto the table it took me straight back to eight years old cleaning rifles, checking gear, and prepping quickloads with my father the night before opening day. I can still smell the Hoppes No. 9, powder, and "de-scented" hunting gear. Dad passed in 2019 but he instilled in me a love of the outdoors, and I'm so happy to see others out and teaching like this. Please continue this series. Even for me with many years of hunting behind me I'm learning and growing my appreciation for the knowledge you bring to your viewers. Take care and God bless.
I sure hope these videos do well, because I’m REALLY loving them!
Old school wisdom that still teaches today. Practical and efficient advice for new shooters .
Love the muzzle loading rifle series.
I'd even like to see a smooth bore series.
Mr. Blackie please keep em coming.
Thanks, Blackie! I recently obtained the same gun - a CVA 50 caliber Mountain gun. Looks the same, but it appears to have had a much easier life. I'm not so sure that it has ever been shot. "Made in the USA" is engraved on the barrel. I was told that'd be made back in 1977 to 1979. The Serial Number is in the low 20,000s. thanks again! Jay in the Black Hills of South Dakota
Loved seeing you doing some ML rifle videos. I was a 4-H ML instructor for 30 years, teaching both kids and adult instructors from all over Indiana. The only little piece I didn't go along with was blowing down the barrel. "Never let the muzzle cross anything you don't plan to destroy." Everything else was spot on. I wish we had videos this good to assign as homework. You are the best!
More videos on the front stuffers, please.... good stuff 👍
I've got one of those Mountain Rifles. First BP rifle I ever bought. It was 1982 and I bought it used at a gun show in San Angelo. The hammer spring was worn out so replaced that. Decided after a year or two to give it to my father. He lived in VA and hunted the big woods and mountains so I cut the barrel back to 22 inches. Made a heck of a nice carbine. Might also add that they were making those stocks out of Birds Eye maple and I got a pretty nice one. Great rifle. Dad has passed and when he did the guy went to my little brother. He has passed and I have the rifle now. Did I say great rifle?
That rifle will hold all it's shots on a playing card at 50 yards, no problem. That is a 1:66 inch twist and that's fine for round balls, works to stabilizer maxi-balls but not really optimal. It is a ball rifle not a bullet rifle.
Love the rifle videos, I've already learned several tricks I never knew about. Hopefully there will be more to come
I watch the video about you cleaning out the barrel rust and I watched a video of you sighting in the gun. They were two great videos, and I enjoyed watching.
I really love Hawken rifles. Super versatile. But lately I have been woods walking with a percussion 28 gauge and I am really starting to love it. EXTREMELY light, compact, and even more versatile. Comes to the shoulder so quick and smooth it’s like magic. It shoots small shot shot very well, up to and including a stack of 5 .36 caliber balls in a single long patch. Shoots a .53 caliber patched round ball so well that I added a rear sight. I completely understand why most fur trade/Indian trade guns were smoothies. My tastes change often, but right now I will be walking with the 28. Good video!
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and you forgot to fire 2 or 3 percussion caps to make sure the muzzleloader will shoot. ( Before you load a percussion muzzleloader fire a percussion cap at piece of toilet paper if it moves from the blast of the muzzleloader and you are ready to load and fire )
Absolutely, more muzzleloading videos! Bring on the flintlock!!
Very informational to the people whi know nothing of black powder firearms....keep them coming blackie!
Thanks Blackie. Sam Fadala put out a great book about muzzleloading back in the early eighties I think. Great guide if you can still get it.
Well im loving these videos and the traditional instruction !
Great Rifle Video Blackie! More videos would be Lovely! Kind Thanks and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
"With a gun like that a man could put a rifle ball through the moon.." can't wait to see Dan'l in the woods..!!
This is all new to me , never shot muzzle loaders . Watching closely and enjoying the fire out of it ! 👍
Blackie… like your show. Just wanted to mention a restoration process for rust. If you remove the barrel from the gun and boil it in water for an hour or so it will convert the rust from red rust to black rust which stops the red rust process and the black rust is easily wiped off the good iron wiped of the iron in one cleaning. Then cover it in KROIL and let it soak overnight which will loosen any remaining debris and is easily wiped away in one more cleaning.
Good luck and enjoy your rifle.
Regards,
Mike Z
Glad you mentioned that a lot of these guns are loaded. I grease patch my old jack Garner gun during hunting season and leave it loaded all season unless i take a shot. I just wipe the powder out of the pan and insert a toothpick until the next hunt.
Thank ya Blackie, for all the info you have taught us.
God Bless.
Good video
Great video!! Keep um coming.
That’s some mighty fine shoot in’, Blackie!
Looking forward to more videos in this series, Blackie. Flintlocks are fun and just as good a hunting tool, as they were 200 years ago. Should be interesting and informative . Hunting with black powder shotguns is another topic that you might also like to cover, if possible.
Great pair of videos for Muzzle loaders... Please keep making them, I learned a LOT from your BP Revolver series when I decided to get back into shooting them after a 30 year hiatus... Been shooting muzzle loaders since the early 90's and have about a dozen or so, mostly rifles and smoothbores and mostly flintlocks with a couple of pistols thrown in the mix as well... I think you do the sport a real service with the informative and practical presentations you do, I'd love to see some videos on Flintlocks and Smooth bore loads... You never know when you might learn something new... Keep up the great work!!!
Outstanding Blackie !!!
Please keep the muzz series coming !!
Blackie , Great Videos on muzzleloading rifles lots of great information. You do have a True Treasure from your Good Friend and Woods Brother and having his thumb print in the patch box . I shoot a Inline Muzzleloader myself that my mother in law bought for me for a Christmas gift back years ago It's a Knight muzzleloader. You Are The Master Woodsman and Buschcrafter. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge and wisdom and passing on the craft. After I watch part 1 video, I did get out my book on muzzleloading and it had several chapters on Turner Kirkland of Dixie Gun Works and did some reading. Thanks Again. I Greatly Appreciate All Your Videos and Teaching. God Bless. Tim L. U. S. Army Vet and Old Boy Scout , and Woodsman.
Great video, brings back memories of the my black powder days ( 1970’s) were I would shoot a pound of powder in a weekend. Love your videos.
I recently bought a used CVA Squirrel Rifle. One of the rare, left handed models.
It had been put away dirty so the bore looked very bad.
I thought that I might have to rebarrel it.
But I thought that I might see if it could be salvaged. I had nothing to lose but a little time and elbow grease.
So, I removed the nipple and put a metric screw in its place. Then using a small plastic funnel, I filled the bore with white vinegar and stood the rifle in a corner overnight.
The next day I poured out the rusty vinegar and scrubbed out the bore with hot, soapy water.
Then I worked over the bore with 4/0 steel wool followed by hot soapy water again
Then finally I polished the bore with patches cut from a red 3m metal finishing pad .Then I oiled the bore for storage.
I haven't had time to shoot it yet but I ran a oily patch through it a week ago and it came out clean.
Things are not always as bad as they seem.
Thanks for all you do.

Thanks for the advice, please keep them coming.
Watching your video from France for years and just wanna say : Great pedagogy and great naturel way of sharing.
Love it, learn alots from you.
awsome! looking foward to your deer hunting video.
Duck video that you made for clean the rust out of the barrel, was one the best videos I ever seen and the second one about Satan your gun at a gun range is another good video that I seen great videos gave me a lot of information. I’m glad I found them and watch them. Thank you very much.
Enjoy your videos as I always learn something new. I have been waiting for you to do videos on the muzzle loading rifle. I am so glad you started this series. I watched part 1 and was looking forward to for part 2. Now I am hooked, so please do more videos on these. Looking forward to seeing you hunt with the muzzle loader. If not an actual hunt, then how about a video on what is different about hunting with a muzzle loader vs a modern centerfire. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Thank you, Blackie! great Information...
Great video, Blackie!
I'm enjoying the muzzle loader stuff. It's a type of firearm that I've never used but I've always been interested in them
My father has a 50 cal Hawken made by Thompson. With its 1-48 twist it handles the Lee REAL bullet with good accuracy at 100 yards with 2F powder. I opted for the " Hawken" in a 54 caliber it hits hard at both ends when firing 425 gr Great Plains Bullet with 100 gr of 2F.
Blackie a little TLC you got shooter for sure. Been shooting these smoke poles since the 70s. CVA makes great shooters no doubt. 👍
Interesting video Blackie please continue
I love Traditional Muzzleloaders, and this video was great.
Very informative, keep them coming please. 👌🤠👍
As I told you in part one that I haven't had my rifle that long when I finally found you some powder it was the substitute powder which was Triple 7 and I bought a mess of it. After I had done that I found out it's not good to use substitute powder in a Flintlock. Now I've seen it done on the everything black powder Channel and it fired off okay but I finally came across some Swiss and some schuetzen black powder and I got what I could afford at the time so when I do get to shoot it I will have black powder real black powder. I've been watching all types of videos about shooting black powder and flintlocks and percussion rifles and I'm glad that I got a Flintlock because caps are a little tight right now and you have explained it the simplest so far. Anyway thanks for the video Blackie and look forward to more I've been scrolling through your list and I'll pick a few more out to watch.
You know bud I watch a lot of vids on black powder but yours covers a lot of information that others don’t. Keep it up Blackie !
Love the info will help me out with my percussion rifles
Great videos Blackie
Awesome video
Nice
It's a little late but I hope you do more on the muzzleloading rifles on all the eras you own. Thanks Blackie.
outstanding information. I appreciate the completeness and detail. thanks
Great video. I've recently acquired a couple of .45 caliber percussion rifles and a really nice .58 caliber Euroarms Enfield. Hopefully getting out to try them all out this week.
Outstanding thanks
Good job Blackie
The only thing I can add to this is, I was taught over 40 + yrs ago, if you have time inbetween shots, is to run a brush down the bore. Whether its plastic, brass or another type of brush, do it, for more consistency shot to shot. Now obviously after a shot while hunting, you don't have time to do this, unless you do. It takes alot of the fouling out of the bore for your next load. It works for me, as I've used this for yrs now. An heck yeah, bring on the rifle vids. Thx for the vid Blackie
outstanding!!!
Love the rifle and it's history thank you for sharing with us.
I like this series, we can not let the muzzleloading skills and techniques disappear.
cool vids. I need to get out my Lyman Plains Rifle. Bought it when I turned 18.
Blackie love 💕. Wind, planes and folk shooting isn’t your problem. 😅❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤷♀️
Im liking you bpml videos!
Thanks! Very interesting!
Glad you liked it!
thank you sir , God Bless !!!
Has a lot of life left, good years ahead
Ol' Dan'l there will serve it's purpose...to Keep the memory of Dan Lutz alive, and honor his friendship, by taking game in the field again! I'd like to think my friends would remember me as you are honoring Dan, Blackie. Good on ya, boy!
Good stuff, keep um coming!
once it cools off i will
Nice videos. Makes me want to get my ol’ Mountain Rifle out and shoot. Aint shot it in 20 years. 👍
Comment before the watch just for the algorithm and because I am happy to see it!
Blackie , I'm really enjoying this series it's right on the money. One thing that you might tell new shooters is when loading the rifle after powder is in the barrel and the patched ball is being rammed down the bore is to seat the ball tightly on the powder charge. Leave NO air cap between the ball and powder. Serious damage to the gun and shooter can happen.
Blackie we always mark the rods with paint marker. 1 for empty n 1 for a loaded barell..
Thanks a lot , - from Germany.
I have built 2 Interarm percussion 50 cal., 60 gr with a .490 ball and 90 grains with a Navy Arms .50, 325 Compression Bullet which grabs even rough bores, lubed with Kiwi natural. At 50 yds 3 touching is doable.
Well, cant speak for others, but uh....bring it on Blackie. Ill watch lol
Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. If your cheak and site is not lined up . Or ajusted in line with the site. You will always be off . From what I can tell that gun is set at 80 grains at 50 yards . And the back site need to be moved to the right. About 2 or 3 clicks. Or 2 1/2 lines to the right. Just trying to help. Good video.
Blackie, if you decide to do a maxi-ball, or mini-ball in part 3, it would be a great contrast to using a patch. Thank you. Great teaching.
Blackie , thanks for this video , its just what I needed . I just bought a t/c white Mountain Carbine muzzleloader in .50 cal. , but I don't think it'll do what I need it to do . I want to shoot patched round ball
( Someone told Me it has a 1:20 twist ) .
Good show. As a matter of fact, flintlocks would be even more interesting. Especially to see the details of the mechanism and how reliably the spark gets to the powder and all the things that have to go right so it fires reliably.
Old Dan is smiling !
Interesting video...!
The whole thing about 50 cal and smaller = 3F powder and larger caliber use 2F powder is a myth! It really comes down to personal preference and the particular muzzleloader. I use 3F in .36 caliber, .775 caliber (10 gauge) and everything in between with excellent results. It ignites easier, fouls less, gives the same punch as 2F using less powder, and I use it to prime the pan as well.
Thanks for the video...
Thanks for the muzzleloader rifle video Blackie! Last year was my first year hunting with one after all these years hunting and I really enjoyed it. Mine is a modern inline muzzleloader but I really would like to get into traditional muzzleloading. I tried casting some muzzleloader bullets with a Lee 50-320-REAL mold but they wouldn't group worth a darn in my CVA Optima v2. I believe the problem is the 1-28 twist barrel. Have you ever tried those in yours? Do you know the twist on that barrel? I believe traditional muzzleloaders have a much slower twist but I'm not sure on that.
Thanks
Not too bad
Love it! You'll get it there with a bit more TLC
My 50 caliber flintlock will shoot six inches high, with a clean barrel, at 100 yards. After the barrel has some fouling, it is dead on at one hundred yards. I don't shoot it at more than 125 yards. This is my personal limit and I believe it could shoot accurately out to 175 to 200 hundred yards. I just won't try to stretch it that far. I have taken deer and antelope with this flintlock using a .490 ball, prelubed patches, and 90 grains of FFF black powder wit FFFF in the pan. Have not shot anything other than black powder and Pyrodex and get less fouling with the Pyrodex, but do love the smell of black powder. Looking forward to more rifle info.
My flintlock is a TC kit gun that a friend put together with a brown barrel.
Looks like you've got the old girl shooting again. two very good videos on Danil! Now, make some meat with that rifle.
Here's a tip. If you're looking at used traditional guns, carry a lighted nock archers use. Turn it on. Drop it down the barrel. Lights up the entire bore.
Depending on how far down the bore the pits are, conning the muzzle might help. It will also help with starting the ball and patch when loading.
1:19 HEART ATACK!!!
MORE MUZZLE LOADERS!!!
I just finally found a mainspring, for my .50 cal CVA MOUNTAINEER. It took nearly 2 years to find one. I pulled hammer back on a nice 4 point and SNAP, went the mainspring... and away ran that lucky deer. I ended up finding a whole caplock assembly on the ebay.
As far as lead. I use the same balls from my 1858 sheriff @ .440, and I use a leather scrap as patch. TC bore butter as lube, I load 70 grains Pyrodex. Maxi are real expensive. I'm looking for a lead mold, to start casting my own.
Make the mold???maybe
@@WHEREVER-I-ROAM I think I'll buy a mold, only because I want it to fit standard handles, and I want Hollow point with at least 2 lube grooves.
@@maxpinson5002 I would have if available. I've got my eye out for a spare.
@@maxpinson5002 I tried Dixie, unfortunately the length and curve was correct, but the locking spur wasn't. You are correct though... its not like mine is a million dollar, 1 off custom. Lol I'll find a couple more.
I have a slue of questions for you. What size caps are you using? What about getting the right size ball for the bore and using a "wading" likes sheeps wool, to keep the ball and powder from rolling out the barrell when pointed down? Did you run patch through the barrell after each shot or did you let it ride for all 5 shots? Would you reccomend using "peletised" powder in 50 grain incraments?
Deer creek should have a new old stock barrel for a little over $100 if you want it like new agian
raise the rear sight Blackie only cut down the front as a last resort!! and to me most muzzle loaders are for a 100 to 150 yards max! i'm in the same slot you are around here it's 50 maybe 60 yards max for a shot!!
Have you ever heard of hunters shooting dry patches? Supposedly the patch lube can leach into the powder and cause some of it not to ignite after carrying a muzzleloaders all day. I don't know if this is true or not I figured you'd know.
Ever shoot Biscuits to eliminate fouling? .45acp case full of cornmeal atop the powder.. Like the series.
I use CO2 blaster to unplug any muzzleloaders
What are the yellow tubes for your premeasured charges?
I shoot percussion muzzleloader
If you go with danel pls take us
