    CVA BP Rifle primer blowback problem. IMO, when the primer is fired there is a lot of resistance or back pressure on the primer ignited hot gas caused by the small size of the fire/flame hole, .028” to .033”. This resistance/pressure means that it is imperative that the primer is sealed into...

    Are you using the O-Ring in the primer pocket and still getting that blowback. These are a fired & unfired primer from my Accura V2 using the O-Ring.

    Primer impact on cleanliness and bullet performance?

    I have found from recommendations on this and other forums that using the O-Ring in the primer pocket stops blowback which can foul the firing pin assembly. Pic of a fired and unfired 209 primer with using the O-Ring.

    Acura v2 bergara barrel

    We shoot the Barnes 250 gr T-EZ bullets in our Accura MRs & V2 using the dark blue sabots and 100 gr of powder or 2 pellets of T7. This seems to be very accurate for us out to 100 yards as that is a far as we tested. This is a recovered bullet that weighed 246 gr and took a nice buck at 84...

    How long do you leave unprimed guns loaded?

    Each and EVERY time you are preparing to test your CVA BP rifle by firing off a primer you first look through the BP at the sky and IF YOU DON'T see light find out why, period. Your ramrod should have witness marks/tape/paint etc. to indicate BOTH loaded and unloaded. Note ramrods for Accura...

    leupold vxlll adjustment

    Try this trick, with your RIGHT hand make a fist and with your RIGHT hand next to the turret you want to adjust, point the thumb in the direction you want to move the POI and the fingers on the RIGHT hand will point in the direction to move/adjust the turret. Works for both elevation and...

    Breach Plugs, tape and fouling, what do you do???

    I believe that the tape goes on CCW with the plug facing the bore.

    Attaching a ramrod keeper to a CVA Accura MR?

    Just a note on Accura ramrods, the MR & V2 are different length and if you have witness marks and mix them up you may find the difference. This happened to my sons & I when sighting in our rifles at the same time.

    Rate of twist in CVA Optima V2

    FYI, 2007 CVA Buckhorn .50 cal has 1:28 twist rate & also 2015 Accura V2 & 2016 Accura MRs have 1:28 twist rate. All stamped or printed on the barrels. I also believe that these rifles are very accurate and excellent for deer. The CVA year of manufacture is the last 2 digits of the S/N on...

    CVA Wolf V2 Misfire - Help Needed

    You may try this. Open the action and with the trigger held press the back of the hammer and observe the firing pin as it protrudes out of the receiver and returns when the hammer is released. The firing pin bushing should be flush with the face of the receiver. I use the rubber O-Ring in the...

    Cva breach plug

    My sons & I had the blowback problem with our Accuras, V2 and MR. From recommendations on this and other forums we tried the rubber O-Ring in the primer pocket and this resolved the blowback issue for whatever primer we chose to use. The O=Ring lasts for 10 to 15 shots and you get 100 for...

    Bulged 209 Primers

    Fired & unfired primer in CVA Accura V2 using Barnes 250 gr T-EZ with 2 pellets of T7. BP has the O-Ring to prevent blowback. FWIW I have never seen any primers deformed in my rifle. I don't understand how the powder charge & bullet weight could cause this problem with the primer. What am I...
