Does anyone know anything about this old flintlock rifle?
It says Conneticut Valley Arms Inc. Black Powder Only 45 Cal.

Thanks!

More commonly called CVA, www.cva.com manufactured black powder arms, mostly in what I would call the lower end price range. Looking at their website now it appears they are only doing inline stuff anymore. I believe they used to also sell kits which had an inletted stock and barrel in the white that you would finish.

Half stock? Full stock? Brass or Iron furniture? If it has 2 wedges holding the barrel to the stock it is probably CVA's mountain rifle.
I have put together a few CVA kits, accurate barrels, but the locks and triggers could have been better from the factory than they
were.

Looks like one of the CVA "Kentucky" rifles from the 1970-80s. Poorly maintained and likely a product of Spain or Italy. Short answer- not much value.

Thanks everyone for the replies! Wasn't sure if this was worth anything, now I see why they had it marked so cheap. Would be better off getting another Mosin for what they were asking.

Defiantly not worth the $135.00 price tag in picture #3

Sorry to say this, but they weren't much when they werenew, and with the care that one has had, I doubt that it would.make.a good fencepost. Stay far away from that one!
