WANTED/ISO Youth muzzleloader

[rusticbob]

My 10yr old grandson needs a youth muzzleloader. He is not a big kid, but he has the interest so now is the time to start the learning process. I have plenty of muzzleloaders, but just not something that fits him, or would be a good candidate to cut down.
Can be either traditional or modern, in fact if I can find one I might buy him a CVA Youth Wolf. Anyone who has something that might fit the bill, let me know.

If you don't find it here.
Muzzle-Loaders.com has a Traditions Buckstalker youth model on sale for $ 210.00.
It's a decent rifle, I owned one some years ago.

There must be some nice, well cared for youth rifles in use now. Somebody surely will outgrow one soon. Not fussy, no hurry.
Someone suggested I take the recoil pad off a CVA Wolf? Does anyone know if the buttplate on aWolf can be removed?

I have a CVA Mackinaw .50 that could be easily conv. to a young shooter. The stock has a 14LOP as is. I bought for my wife to use and she doesn't have any interest. It's a used one that I put a rear sight and unbreakable rod on and some cleaning. It has good rifling and shoots the hornady PA conical balls really well. The bore has some light browning in the grooves. This would make a good beginner gun. 125.00 plus actual shipping . I will be listing this when I get around to it.

Yes,most butt plates have 2 in-set screws that hold it to the rifle.

 

[deermanok]

Yup, about the same as dry wall screws.

Those holes in the recoil pad also make a good place to hold a couple 209 primers.

Rusticbob, I enjoy watching the albrecht auction in Vassar Mi. Just last week they had a couple of very nice inlines that sold for 125.00. One for 85.00. They ship or I can pick one up and ship to you. Ive done for guys here before. Once in your posession you could make a project to shorten and modify it with your Grandson. Just an offer and another option.

I have a friend who bought a cva Wolf for his son and took the recoil pad off took a jigsaw and cut off a half to 3/4 of an inch off the stock,put the recoil pad back on and you can not tell the difference except in the shortness of the gun.

Bingo, that sounds like a great solution! Thank you much
