CVA Optima™ V2 Pistol

[Chris W.]

Wow, a grand for one! I might sell mine.

Some of the the CVA Scout center fire pistols have also been going for some insane prices as well. I'd been trying to get my hands on a 44 mag Scout pistol for some time when one popped up on Gunbroker back in the Fall. I lost interest when it hit the $500 dollar mark. I don't know what the final bid was but the last bid I saw was well over $600 and there was a day or two left in the auction.

Ive been thinking about putting a brace on mine. Theres a few guys that 3D print the adapters.
This one is $85 tho.

Will that fit the Optima pistol?

Glad you asked 1st! /Ed

IDK. Looks like it might. I might risk it if it was maybe $50. I might send an email and ask.

 

[deermanok]

It's pretty cool. I think I would buy one if I knew it would fit my pistol.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

If it does fit, its $150 for the adaptor and brace. Thats not too bad. I sent them an email about it

With the current political climate, anything that goes bang and is reliable is demanding a premium. People are panicking big time regarding boomsticks.

I have the adapter from FarrowTech and it does fit. However it will require some fine tuning to satisfy
most of us here. Additionally the printing is rough and sanding and further shaping of the grip area
are necessary in my opinion. I would say it is plenty strong.
An AR15 buffer tube screws right in so many stock options are available.
The stock below is just one I hand on hand and not final. But you get the idea.
I haven’t take the time to finish my build, but it makes a very handy carbine
and I’m looking forward to hunting with it next year.

 

[deermanok]

That looks really good.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

That does look good. I have a stock off my m&p15 that i can use.

Farrow Tech just emailed me and said that they sell plenty to go on the optima pistol. Saving my $ to get one for my b-day coming up in April.

Their price was $85.00 I think I saw. I looked at a cheapie stock for 20 bucks. I guess that's all you need right?

Yes. Well as long as the stock will screw on there. Otherwise it needs a buffer tube or something. Ive seen ar15 pulloffs going super cheap. Although 'braces' seem to be a little pricey but look like the same thing.

 

[deermanok]

I don't know anything about them myself. Look forward to seeing your setup.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

Just ordered the adapter. Free shipping so i hope it doesnt tour the country before it gets to me.

 

[deermanok]

Not unless they ship USPS, Lol

 

[rhbc13]

Aaaaahhhh, the stories it will have.

 

[hairybird]

I wouldn't be surprised if a certain group of people classified it as a bump stock for a muzzleloader or something else off the wall..

 

[michiganmuzzy]

I thought about that. Does a muzzleloader need to be registered as an SBR (ShortBarrelRifle)?
