Is that your 45 cal CVA Apex?

No, that's a .50 that has been nitrided. I don't have a .45 cal - wish I did.

I always love the looks and feel of the Apex. Wonder why they decided to drop it, unless they felt there wasn't much of a market to be able to switch bbls?

The Apex is a beauty. CVA had a switch barrel before that, the Optima Elite. I had one in .50 ML. Not as pretty but an amazing shooter. I think the Accura PR and MRs look very similar to the Apex.

CVA never sold any like this. This one is owned by a 20 year employee of CVA. Several of the employees had rifles nitrided by a place in Arkansas (Parker TruTec) some years back. If he can get this one shipped, it should be in my hands soon. I may have to sell my regular SS model to help pay for this one.

The following pieces belong to the fellow I am getting the nitride Apex from... the first 3 pics are an Armi San Marco break action inline .54 that he wants 200 for

The second is a CVA Hawkins .50 that he would like 250 out of.

And finally a CVA Apex 12 gauge with TruGlow turkey scope and JEB choke. He didn't tell me the price on it. If any of you are interested in these just PM me for his contact info. 500 for the Apex with scope and choke.

He has now posted these on Georgia Outdoor News https://gon.com/classifieds . GON requires a membership fee. But I can still provide his contact info if anyone wants.

Nice looking rifle indeed. So, the Apex is to CVA as the Encore is to TCA then & needs a 4473 form.

I switched out the stocks and now this nitride one is "Black Beauty" 
No hammer extension was included - HAMMER EXTENSION ON ITS WAY!! .
And now it is back as it was except took the scope and mount off.
A couple of tiny blems which I will show below. I am not sure what they are.
The action is good and tight and the bore is good.
