Took optima apart 5 years ago and finally put it back together today with your help! Add in your description that this also works for early model optimas. This helped me out so much!! Thanks man
I took mine apart probably 15 years ago. Been told by every gun smith that it can’t be done without me buying a special tool… can’t wait to try this.. thanks!
Well, I took mine apart for absolutely no reason, then realized I made a mistake. Thanks for this video, I'm sure I would still be struggling otherwise
Dude, thanks! Searched everywhere for a diagram and couldn’t find one, took a buddy’s apart. I did use a bolt for the trigger pin and it pushed out just fine. You’re a lifesaver, thanks again!
The video is much appreciated. I was one of those who took it apart without researching first. I’m working on a CVA hunter 7mm 08 for a friend. It’s exact trigger assembly to the model you were working on. Thanks again.
Thanks for the amazing video!!! It was a lot of help! Btw a cut up golf tee works great as well for holding the trigger spring in place. In case you don’t bow hunt.
So glad i watched this video before i took my action apart. Any time i see pins and springs under tension in a blind spot im like, "nope". Brake cleaner it is lol. Ive been using birchwood casey gun scrubber with the little red straw. For as exposed as cva trigger assembly is to fouling, you would tging they would have made a better design like the seperate trigger assembly on tge old eclipse or something.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WHAT A PAIN!!!! You truly helped me out Big Time And I Appreciate it!!!! I used a Allen key for my makeshift pin. I got it going and wanted to say thanks.
@@robotmanx2009after assembly it locks back and fires, then the trigger goes dead and you have to manually reset each time- I thought it might be the small reset spring but not sure - thanks for the reply
thank you for this video got one in shop that was taken apart and owner didn.t. remember how it came apart, if you do many of these let me know as I am making a slave pin for this and 2 are as easy to make as one, Thank you again

I've been a gunsmith for 36 years. You helped me from pulling my hair out. Thanks, David

I made the mistake of taking my Wolf V1 apart, and this video saved me from sending it to CVA. Will never make that mistake again. Thanks!!
this video was saved me so much frustration and probably having to send it back to CVA. Thank you so much. Wish I could buy you a beer.

You're a champion mate!! I would've been stuffed with out this video. Thanks from NZ
Omg thank you so much. I am one those guys that has to break his gun all the way down. And I did it and went oooooh sh*t. Thank you

Success!! Great video to get me started and alignment of springs, pins, etc.

glad it helped!
Done the same thing you did what a pain.
Great video man helped a lot
Well you saved my tail! I used a chunk of chainsaw file instead of a bolt. It popped right out no issues.
Thanks for the video
Great instructions thanks
Try a small piece of wood dowl to hold the trigger spring and trigger.
Which Gun is this for? I have a CVA Wolf but the trigger assembly does not look like this one. Mine has many more parts than this one.
Thanks so much man I have a question, I followed all the steps and when it’s completed the trigger is not wanting to reset? Any ideas?
The trigger doesn't reset as in when you pull the hammer back it doesn't catch/hold the hammer back?

@ the small spring that inserts into the trigger guard would be my guess.
@ good idea I’ll check that thanks man safe hunting

Glad the video was helpful. Thank you very much for the offer stranger but I only do mine every other year or so.
Does anyone make a lighter spring kit for these?
Not that I'm aware of. I don't think you would want to though. I already get some failures to set off the cap with mine.
Thanks man who would have thought so much headache not very user friendly is it
not friendly at all. Glad I could help
