CVA Leaked the new Paramount Muzzleloader

strike 2. But I AM still intrigued...

I am too

I am a sucker for these Muzzle Loaders but I thinks this one is going to pass In the video he said a 400 yard rifle but no mention of how it groups unless I missed something. I believe this rifle will appeal to the weekend hunter one who doesn't want to go through all the converting I just had a converted it to Lukes breech plug when I first got it and no mention that BH-209 was a no no as soon as I can get to the range to see how it shoots if not to my liking I will rebarrel it.

I no in early testing , even with the breech leaking ( which I understand they have fixed) they reported sub Moa @ 300 yards

Cva should send Doug one for an honest review. Maybe that has been said already?

CVA should send one to Luke first and let him fix it

if what i heard is true , a good chance they will be at Friendship in June

The variflame system is known to leak. So I'm not buying that it's "fixed."

I remember 2-3 guys on Dougs tried them and even with a easy head spacing Savage type barrel getting them to seal well was problematic. Once they leak the gas cutting begins. I can just see the Paramount flash hole getting eaten alive by the leaky Variflames before you even notice gas cutting on the module or "primer pocket".

I can not see how that system will not leak . Especially with 140 grain loads . You just can not get two flat surfaces to seal . You need some sort of primer crush or some sort of module that is made of softer material with either the plug or module tapered .

Not at all saying the rifle will not be accurate but will need someone like Luke to come up with a better idea.

If I bought one I’d have it shipped to Jeff or Luke to develop a new ignition system & have a brake put on it as well as getting a drop & a die before I even see the gun.
Why they chose Epp to build the ignition is beyond me. They could have had it designed built right here in the USA. I can tell you that it wouldn’t require a tool in the field to remove the spent primer like it currently does.
Also maybe a 2 piece breech plug like Jeff made for the Knight rifles that eliminates the possibility of gas cutting from front sealing plugs.(assuming this is a front seal style)
That’s what I would do.
