- Cleaning your muzzleloader is pretty easy when you do it right after shooting...but what if you didn't?

Its also a good practice to use a air nozzle to blow out the residue after cleaning
Glad to see CVA covering the basics...and wow, I cant believe someone could allow their plug to actually rust shut like that. Makes me wonder what some of the MZ rifles look like like that you get back in the warranty department.
You would be surprised what happens to some muzzleloaders. I once shot Pyrodex through one and didn’t clean it for the rest of deer season. That plug rusted so bad I never got it out, my gunsmith and another gunsmith couldn’t get it out. I gave it to a friend who was willing to buy a new barrel for it. I went to a Wolf and it’s so easy to break down for cleaning there’s no reason not to clean it
Imagine not taking care of your rifle and then trying to submit a warranty claim when it doesn't function.
HOT WATER AND DISH SOAP AND SOME OF TOOLS YOU USED PERFECT!!! USING TRIPLE 7 PELLETS NEVER HAD A MISFIRE.
Good video. Basics are key to consistency. I like these how-to vids, no matter how simple they are.
I just bought my first cva muzzleloader a week ago and shot it for the first time last Friday and sun and cleaned it a couple days ago most of it was straight forward but I wasn’t sure how to clean my breach plug thanks so much for the video and the explanation
I use an aluminum oxy acetylene torch tip cleaning file . It's been working fine for 3 years
This is so cool. Im just getting into shooting black powder. I got my CVA ifle deliverrd yesterday, and cant wait to get home to see it and start to shoot with it. Me and my shooting buddy are just now getting into it. We're doing this as its so hard finding reloaing supplies for out regular rifles. But it seems like this is going to be so fun.
I use a torch tip cleaning tool as well.
Same here
Simple Green is an awesome cleaner for black powder! It's non-toxic, biodegradable and easy to find at most any grocery store cleaning/soap area.
Thanks for the tip! Are you soaking the breech plug in it?
@@MaxwellBenson80 You can if you want. But ultimately only if necessary. A old toothbrush and some compressed air helps too. Don't forget to add some more anti-seize after you clean the plug.
Simple green is great for cleaning. But make sure you clean it all off it can cause a rust.
Excellent information. It is so highly valuable to keep my CVA Optimum superbly clean for great hunting performance.
I have a CVA Wolf and I love the gun so much I’m going to be getting a Cascade in 22 250 in the future. CVA makes a fantastic product for the price point and I’m so tight I squeak when I walk. This is the first year since I purchased my Wolf in 2017 I haven’t taken a deer with it only because time was limited and no deer showed up. Keep doing what you do CVA.
The one that's rusted soak in rust dissolver for a couple of hours then use the pick to work rust out, once opened use pick to get more dissolver in the hole, let sit for a while rinse and blow dry very good,
I wanna see more cleaning videos for cva muzzleloader I got a cva wolf i keep clean I had it for 2 years and Its still new and I keep it clean and take good care of it
I just soak mine in straight up hot water and dishwasher soap. Then wipe it down with hoppes no 9 cleaner and blow out the primer hole with am aerosol can.
Why would it not be possible to use the ( Proper sized ) drill bit to clean out the rusted shut breech plug ? Of course I can see the problem with drilling one out to a larger size.
I want to see more videos like this and suggested loads for your optima.
When I bought my optima about 10 years ago, the paperwork that came with it said use white hots pellets. DO NOT DO THAT !!! I use 100 grains Jim Shokey's gold, 2sticks. 50 cal. 195 grain power belt green base. 3 inch group at 100 yds all day long. Brush out the bore after 6 rounds, very little residue. White hots, 3 rounds all over the place at 25yds. Brush bore after 3 rounds, enough residue to make another pellet. Put alot of meat in the freezer with this combo.
I have a cva V2 optima 50 NW package - and now I have one with a scope
for regular season. Had problems ordering parts (scope rail ,nw breech plug )
None of my TC breech plugs ever rusted. All stainless and never rust.
What's the exact name of the parts soaker? Where do you buy it?
Great video
Hope you get the parts soaker in stock soon
Can’t find product myself, I was gonna use my wife jewelry cleaner. Lol
I use a bowl full of hopes9 to soak my breach plug
I would like to see a video on when the action gets stuck closed and won’t open. I was cleaning my CVA Accura with the break open and the breech plug removed, also my hammer was pulled back. I closed the action and now the hammer won’t release and the action will not open. I cannot find a video anywhere on how to deal with this issue. I will call BPI Outdoors tomorrow when they open but I was hoping to find a video on this issue.
Hi...new to in-line muzzleloader. I bought a used CVA
Accura and I have have a questions.
When looking through the breach plug and barrel "field stripped of course"
am I suppose to see clearly through them both?
If the Breech plug is clean, you should be able to see straight through it. After you have finished cleaning it, shoot a primer through the breech plug on an empty barrel. That will flush out any debris that may be left.
@@CVA
What is the difference between MR and MR-X?
I remove mine and clean it out after every shot prolly over kill but it’s what I do
Thanks that helps all of your vidios on the cva muzzleloaders are a big help thanks again
Good info
Good video!
Clean it every day or after every shot ? How many times can you shot before you have to clean one
Great Info thanks
I have the older Optima with the hex head breech plug. Is the cleaning procedure similar?
Thanks
Would a SST breach plug make any difference for rust resistance ??
Where can I order everything to clean my breech plug
I have a stuck breach plug might be rusted. I got it used. Yukon tradition. Can't get out.
Need a breech plug to be able to clean it!😜
Still waiting for my prepaid Accura LRX 45 and Paramount 40.
Any idea if and when stock will be sent out to retailers?
Me too, cannot clean what you do not have. Time is running out, where are our guns?????
@@Porky186 EXACTLY!!!
I'm sorry your dealing with that @Terry Chapman & @Joseph Benedict. I'm sure you're itching to get your kit set up. Arrival time depends on where you've ordered you muzzleloader from, but we have some .40 Cal Paramount Pro's that should ship out in a week or two. The Accura LRX .45 Cal looks to be about mid to late September before they arrive from the ports.
@@CVA thank you for the update. Its like being a kid all over again, waiting till xmas morning to get your present!!!! Been good as hell and taken it easy on the vodka too santa...lmao.
Same procedure with the NW breech plug?
Could you use hoppes to clean your plug?
If you are using Blackhorn 209, yes. If you are using another blackpowder substitute you have to use a water-based solvent.
I have a breach plug that is rusted shut just like the one you showed. How do you remedy that? it appears it's discontinued so I can't just buy another one. HELP!!!
Please reach out to Customer Service at contact@bpiguns.com or call at 770 449 4687.
I aquired a old super rusty muzzleloader from a friend and the plug has rusted and sealed the hole. I've got the rest of the gun cleaned up alright but the hole is still sealed
I wanna see more videos
For the love of God can you please add links to the exact products you're using???
Grow up
Lol your video editor needs to QA their work.
💕💕💕
What size hole is the inside hole of the breech plug. I see no problem with drilling out the small hole if you use a small enough bit. I have bits down to .2 mm
He just said don't do that don't make the hole bigger inless you want blow back and possibly the gun blow up in your face making your gun a pipe bomb
Is there anyway to shoot patch round ball out of a modern muzzleloader another words would have just not be accurate or would it blow up the gun
What is the name/brand/size of that tool you used to drill into the breech? Thanks
You can find the part on our shopping site 1:08. We can't link it here because of CZcams's community guidlines.
@@CVA Thanks. I d not like the Woke at YT or FB
@@CVA ps I see the part but I could use product detail so I can buy these tools at Home Depot or Lowe’s or elsewhere. Thanks. It’s a machine tool not a weapon so hopefully you can help with that. I don’t want to overdrill parts with wrong sized equipment
I wish this video was out years ago, I clean the plug well, but always see rust. Also after cleaning the barrel, within a month the barrel looks like I never touch it.
It was. CVA made a whole series of vids more than 10 years ago and then updated them again, not to mention vids by others too. Do you live in a humid environment? Which state?
@@cvcoco Pa.
What cleaner are ya using?
I've been using the "barrel blaster solvent spray"
then just bore butter after.
It helps to have some pipe cleaner's as well though, that's honestly what I get the breech plug the most clean with.
After I'm done with that I wipe the outside of the metals with bow string wax and left it sitting for a couple months in a case and dont have any issues rust. Just gotta figure out what works for you. I leave a few oxygen absorbers in the case under the foam for good measure.
Just put them in a sonic cleaner no fuss no mess cost less in the long run
Not sure I understand why that person drilled out his/her breech plug and got the blow-back?
If the breech plug was drilled out and there was a path for the flame, why then the blow-back?
Good video, thanks for taking the time to make this. Peace
I imagine the blowback was from the powder when it ignited.
The flash hole they drilled was significantly larger than the original. Probably not so much a problem that they drilled it but rather the size of the resulting hole.
To me it's just plain stupid someone would drail a hole in the breech plug and get a ton of blow back , to me some people just to lazy to clean there guns and muzzleloaders they see rust and try to drail it out and that happens
Automatic transmission fluid that has detergent in it will clean it just drop it in,......it will take a while I'd leave it for a month, if not a year but it would be like new.
Some people just so dang lazy to clean there guns tbh thats why they get rusty and when they get all rusty they no good no more muzzleloaders need cleaning after every use
Music sux.
How clean a cva don't. Don't buy the pos. Had a brand new one get rusted and pitted one week after owning it been kept on the box never wet. Cva polished it up to the bare metal looks terrible said they don't cover rust. Terrible customer service couldn't talk to real people or nothing.
Used the antiseize lube and it was horrible. Actually seized the breach plug in the gun.
LOL only thing I got from video was do not buy CVA the breech plugs are garbage !!
Looks like I'm not the only one looking for out of stock parts. My hammer spur broke last year and I've yet to see it back in stock. SKU: 30379. Sucks trying to cock my hammer under the scope, even worse with gloves on...
My spur broke also, been using without it for now.
Where are the parts from, Italy or Spain? I think Spain. Either one, covid logistics are the problem, shipping hasnt opened up yet.
If you can get the threads on the broken spur out, a temporary fix would be a 3/4" stainless steel machine screw...they are less than a dollar at the hardware store...just make sure you get a stainless one and add a drop of Locktite so it doesn't fall out.
