Captchee,the one in the pic you modified sure looks good....

Thank you .
 Understand though the one I posted in this thread isn’t really modified .
See all to often folks would buy these as kits .
 Because the kit is basically just a drop in concerning the parts , they never realized that there was a lot of wood work that needed done .
  It didn’t help any that CVA basically did the same thing with the  finished rifles .

 I do have a number of truly modified CVA rifles posted  here in the TMA as well

Captchee,I know what you mean,the pics of the rifle I'm getting,the stock sure could use some work to make it flow and blend more naturally,something I'll look into when it arrives.....

There where two locks on the cva. Large and small. Most likely you'll have the small and this is what the L&R ,(rpl) replacement looks like.This conversion is on a cva mountain rifle,but the the conversion would be the same (basically). there's plenty help here when you get to doin.

Thanx Riley.Shure do like that gun. the patina came with it when I bought it in Idaho at a pawn shop. capt intitially helped me tweek it  in , triggers/lock tuning but the spring went bad in the original cap lock and after replacing with "another bad spring" I dove in and bought the L&R lock.Conversion went well but ended up the lock had problems and I fought that for way too long before sending it to L&R to be fixed.I tell ya, I sent it to them AND had it back within a week at no charge. It was a bad tumbler.Now it works flawlessly.It was a learning experiance to say the least, but I would do it again without hesitation.
