Mine is not finished, as I have Brent Gurtek working on my L&R lock. Basically I just turned out the drum and had William Young make up a brass liner to screw in it's place.

Ridjrunr has completed his conversion and may have a picture or two...

coverting isnt hard . but you have to know what your have .
IE what bolster  was used on your rifle .
small , medium or long neck on the drum bolster .
 the hardest part is addressing that issue .
 then get you  the right  L&R or other lock and your good to go

not an issue  when your read .
also  if you deside to stay with the original stock .
 if someone has not already done it . she will look a whole lot better if you take  the stock wood down  alot .
 it will also lighten her considerably .
 while the wood is beach , it will take  just about any color you like .
 here is a CVA that i  did for a fella many years ago . it was an old abused kit that someone had put together . not alot i could do with it  but remove alot of wood .
 but just doing that made it a whole lot slimmer  and better proportioned

I've heard and read that the lock on the CVA Kentucky could be better,what lock would someone replace it with and where would be the place to get the new lock?Is the new lock a direct replacement or is there work that has to be done to fit the new lock?

I've used the L&R replacement lock a few times for guy's on their CVA and Dixie rifles,and not a "drop" in,very easy to install, a little wood to be removed,tahts all. Performance is like putting a V-8 in a six cyl car! It's doubled!

yep what pathfinder said .
 i also have use Johns bailes locks but they take alot more work .
 most anywhere that carries L&R locks will carry the RPL lock .
