Found some time to head out to the range today with a mix of firearms. I was looking forward to letting some smoke out of my
CVA Mountain rifle just for the fun it but after about ten or so shots the lock wouldn't stay fully cocked and would stick in the half cocked position. It was a little dicey not being able to get to full cock with a loaded weapon and I ended up shooting it from the hip just to clear the charge. Anyways got home and pulled the lock hoping it was an adjustment but the full cock finger on the tumbler has sheared off leaving just the half cock notch. Oh well such is shooting, after a few phone calls I found that Deer Creek Products has tumblers available and that there are two different sizes used on CVA locks so I'm shipping my broken lock out for repairs so the correct tumbler gets installed.
Probably will be the last time I get out for a while, my wife is scheduled for a knee replacement in about a month which will tie up a lot of the upcoming summer. At least I wasn't shooting in competition when the old girl broke.
