Muzzle-loaders.com has V2 pistols in stock!
Awe c'mon now. I love my AR15 disaster stockI already got one! What can I do? I like these so much, I long for an excuse. A 58 caliber version, would be just such a reason for me. CVA needs to think about this. Demand will eventually taper off. If not more calibers, than what? A more tasteful shoulder stock model than that horrible AR15 style disaster?
Me too.I would think 45 caliber would be better than 58?

Are you having them made for your Optima?The following barrels to be 416 stainless steel × 14" long
A .45 caliber barrel with a 1:16" twist that has 0.004" deep square bottom grooves for lead conicals & sabots.
A .54 caliber barrel with a 1:24" twist that has 0.004" deep square bottom grooves for lead conicals.
A .62 caliber barrel with a 1:54" twist (1/3 turn per 13.5" actual bore length) that has 0.012" deep round bottom grooves for patched balls.
And finally......
An 18" long × 416 stainless steel × 20 gauge × 0.620" bore diameter × smoothbore barrel that is internally threaded at the muzzle for interchangeable choke tubes with a trio of cylinder bore, modified, and extra full turkey choke tubes supplied with the barrel.

I am going to call Bobby Hoyt to ask him if I was to send him a brand new pistol, would he be willing to/able to, make an entirely new barrel with a larger diameter breech that would accept a breech plug with either 3/4"-24 threads, or 7/8"-24 threads? The breech plug thread diameter contingent for a bore diameter of 0.672" × 6-groove, Forsyth-style rifling × 0.012" deep round bottom grooves × 0.696" groove diameter × a 7:1 ratio of groove width (0.30772") to land width (0.04396") × a 1:56" rate of twist.
Then, a 0.668" diameter pure lead ball should drop from the mold at approximately 446.84 grains, 9.34 grains heavier than a 1oz ball.
For the short range distances that most big game animals will be killed at with the Optima V2 pistol, a large bore, patched ball barrel rifled with a round ball twist will kill anything in North America that a muzzleloading hunter has the courage to hunt.
Im with doc on the 20 ga....fun, fun,funThe following barrels to be 416 stainless steel × 14" long

A cylinder bore 20 gauge Optima V2 pistol with a bore diameter of 0.620" would be a very versatile pistol.I like the 20ga idea but with a cyl. bore no choke tubes.
