    WTS - CVA Prospector Pistol Kits

    CVA Prospector Pistol Kits. Another project I just can’t seem to get into. A pair of 44 caliber single shot black powder pistol kits from CVA. These kits are offered pretty much just the way I found them (I removed some light surface rust). The frames had already been assembled and seem to be done so correctly. One set of grips have been sanded but the other has not. Barrels need to have the barrel brackets fitted. Missing one nipple, otherwise the parts needed to finish both pistols are included. Also includes an assembly instruction manual.

    As noted I removed some rust when I got them. Outside of the barrels had some light surface rust, probably from handling, and I took it off with a wire wheel. You may find a little here and there and I didn’t do anything with the frames. Brass will probably need polishing as well. Bores are unfired. Barrels and frames are still in the white.

    I would like $275 shipped for the pair. Prefer Postal Money Order or Cash but will do Paypal if you pay the fees. “I’ll take it” trumps questions. Thanks!

    Looks like the old Tingle single shot pistols. Frank

    How do you load these? patched ball?
    When you care enough to send the very best, send an ounce of lead.

    The instruction manual included is for the assembly of the kits. Apparently there was a separate shooting instruction manual that originally came with these pistols/kits. From what I have read, these take a .433 patched round ball. Hope that helps. Thanks.
