Rhode, replace the grease with white plumbers tape. One wrap around the threads does it all.

CVA Accura V2 blows the other muzzys mentioned right out of the water. One sweet rifle with a sweet trigger to match.

nanuk that is interesting, I will have to see how that affects the first shot impact vs the next 2 lubed shots.

never wipe. I got 12 shots the other day without any trouble. I didnt want any kind of groves in it. Kind of like a powerbelt without the plastic skirt and hollow point. The Alox worked great today...

good deal but that stock is 90% sapwood from the look of it. Those italian guns have a bad reputation coming from the factory like that.
