Iffen you want a "real" Mtn. Rifle cap box, Deer Creek has them: http://www.deercreekproducts.net/store/p1287/Mt_Rifle_Patchbox.html

My Hodgepodge rifle started out as a Mtn. Rifle kit from them, many years ago, and I don't think it can be beat for what I have into it, plus the upgrades.  You should have many years of fun with yours!

Track has that same brass CVA patchbox available, but since it would be the only brass on the gun, I instead ordered a German Silver box of a slightly different design.





For comparison, this is Track's CVA patchbox:

Awesome choice! I’ve got an original plains rifle with that box design. That’s going to look cool on your mtn rifle.👍👍

That’s a unique mtn rifle for cva. Neve4 seen that tg on a mtn rifle. But it does look as though it’s got curl in the stock👍What does it say on the barrel?



Thanks to a post elsewhere by someone familiar the CVA Mountain Rifles, mine is a ca. 1990 a Premier Grade Mountain Rifle. 

Unlike almost all other MRs, this edition has a chrome lined bore.

Note the Walnut stock, full length cheek, the pewter furniture and Frontier Rifle trigger guard also in pewter.

That is a very nice rifle!  I once had a CVA cheapy built from a kit that I killed a pretty good number of deer with.  Regardless of how their rifles were fitted/finished the barrels needed no excuses.  I've never fired one that wasn't finely accurate, even if the rest of the rifle was below par.  :toast

T Y !

I just found out that the silver patchbox I ordered from Track is out of stock - so I bought one from Deer Creek.

Talk about fast service, I got an email from Deer Creek about 5 hours after I ordered online that my order has been shipped ! !

For comparison, it took Track two weeks to ship my order.

I bought one as a kit at a yard sale still in the box $35 ,my first flint with early barrel by Douglas I think,he’ll of a shooter ,I traded it for something else ,wish I had it still!Now ,I have a renegade with a .50 and .54 bbl,per. A Lyman flint .50  flint .36 and a fowler project .12 ga.I like the flints for ammo shortages when even caps are hard to get.
I go forth armed and girded as a free man.
