Modifying a EGW Picatinny rail for a Wolf V2

[Tannhauser]

I recently purchased a CVA wolf V2 muzzle loader. I purchased the version with iron sights but I also wanted to mount a low powered scope with QD rings.

I ordered the EGW Picatinny rail to use. When it arrived I test got the rail. I didn’t like how far forward the real extended because I didn’t need that extra real estate towards the front, but I did need some extra room towards the rear to mount the scope with proper eye relief.

Since CVA uses a symmetric bolt pattern, I reversed the rail. This was more to my liking, but the overhang was extreme.



I decided to cut fiend the rail to give better fit, and still provide more mounting space towards the breech.

I used a very give tooth saw, then files and finally ultra fine sandpaper. The result:





It’s not 100% goat, but close enough. While it would be fully functional as-is, I hit the entire rail with flat black spray paint to finish it.



In the field:





Thought I’d share this simple mod for a CVA rail. If your a person like me who skeays needs scopes pushed back farther to get proper eye relief, it makes a difference.

Nice job. A friend of mine did the same exact thing with his wolf.

Where can you get the screws for the scope mount and what size are they?

The screws came supplied with the EGW mount.
