Careful, just saw a video on a converted V2 where he double loaded on accident. It Blew the gun apart forearm was in a thousand tiny pieces. He said only thing that saved serious injury was he did not have hand on the forearm like shown in this video.
Just so I understand....I buy the black powder rifle and only send you the barrel for conversion? you install the muzzle break, breech plug and add the accessories and that's it??
This is not a black powder rifle. It is a center fire rifle chambered in 45/70, I then install a breech plug and you now have a muzzle loader. And yes I can hook you up with everything you need.
The 45/70 bore is .450, the grove is .458. the 45 caliber pistol bore is usually .442 with a grove of .450, so we shoot pistol caliber bullets from our rifle caliber barrels. They do require some sizing down in diameter to get them to fit in the barrel. We call these land riders.
I know there must be advantages to this conversion that I'm not totally clear on, because you seem like a sharp mind. Is it better powder burn with the priming system? Less cost because you don't need cartridges? I don't think it would be legal for muzzle loading season or at least it wouldn't appear to the fish cops on first blush, because it looks like a center fire rifle & uses smokeless powder. Where would I get more info on the advantages of this system? I've seen a few of your video's and haven't seen it explained. Thanks :)
tblbaby it really comes down to ease of use and you local laws. In Missouri, as long as it can only be loaded from the muzzle, it's legal for muzzleloader season. The HIS priming system is more consistent than 209s or other primer systems. Smokeless powder is not corrosive like blackpowder and BP substitutes, so cleaning is easier but also not as necessary.
What would be to total cost to have a gun like this converted? I'm Interested in having my gun converted
Around $400 for the conversion I think. I have one and love it
65 grains of powder. Shit that’s stout.
What is the max powder charge you can load?
What vortex scopes are you using
thats a 9.3x62 load
Would this gun perform well with BH209? I ask simply for legality sakes as smokeless is not permitted in MI during muzzleloader season.
Yes, it will. I have sold many to guys in MI. and they use BH209 in them.
Once this is converted to a muzzleloader are you able to remove the breech plug and shoot 45-70 or is it permanently a muzzleloader?
I have a CVA wolf could you make me a barrel for smokeless powder
"more than enough to kill your deer" 8:47 Ha, I'd shoot elk with it.
Had mine for a year now. Absolutely love it!
Excellent system, i have one and i like it, shoots in the same hole 👍
Like the cva v2 they are good for deer. Mine works great.
Don't knwo how i got here, but you know a lot about guns... coool
I'd like to see a long range test on it I think it would be good

Don't double load and it's not a problem
Excellent video, thanks Jeff!
What about bore butter?

Jeff is there a tool you use to take the breech plug out so you can clean it ?
7/16 socket, takes it out, no problem
What's the farthest you shot that gun accurately
It will shoot good to 300 plus yards.
Hey Jeff, how much powder could u shoot in these safely. 70+ grains
65gr 4198 powder is very lax charge in these guns.
I prefer 60gr in mine.
Also what's the speed on it
think about 2500-2600 fps
So how much are they?

Velocity and accuracy
Hey Jeff, I was wondering if the CVA Scout has a larger diameter at the breech than the T/C Encore?
They are the same size at the breech.
