Northwest guns got better!
« on: December 31, 2013, 06:51:44 PM »
Just saw CVA's new catalog of new guns. They are now offering the Accura v2, Optima V2 and the Wolf in Northwest configuration. Nitride finish on the upper ends like the V2.  The breech plug is removable with your fingers and a musket cap nipple is installed, 4 ported holes so your nipple is exposed.

I'm going to sell my new never fired CVA BUCKHORN and get me the new Northwest Acura V2 when it comes out.

You may want to wait and see what the reviews look like.

We just had a fall thread on the new Traditions StrykeFire with very mixed reviews.  I am not a CVA fan, but anything new in the muzzle loading world needs to be reviewed closely.

CVA has mixed results in some of their different models that they have produced over the last 15 years both under their own name as well as other names.

I contacted them and it sounds like they will not be available to ship until sometime this summer, more than likely in August.

 Wait for a review? You can find a review to support your case either way. On anything. Just let us CVA lovers enjoy the moment.

No problem, best wishes, and I look forward to your review.  I am just extra cautious with front stuffers, because they seem to be a lot more finicky than rifles

I ordered the Optima V2 today from muzzle-loaders.com. Should be here in a couple days. I'll let you know how it looks.

Nice. I would have liked to get the Acura but I just didn't want to rob that much money from my kid's college fund. Hahaha. Let me know when you get it and how awesome it is.

Yeah I will post up some stuff when I get it. It will be hard to beat my elk horns and I don't like 11's. SO if she don't play nice it will be in the classifieds on here :chuckle:

Break-action with hand removable breech plug and hammer action sounds like a great design.  I just wonder about the lock-time and whether the hammer has sufficient smack-down power on the cap?

My NW Explorer just doesn't hit the cap hard enough, and I've read the same thing happens with other inline hammer guns (vortek).   And there is a perceptible difference in lock time between the NW Explorer and my Knight Disk.

Bolt action muzzleloaders may be low on design innovation, but they are stable, accurate, and have a fast lock time.  I'm curious to see how Carp likes the acura.  I'm guessing he knows a thing or two about firearms.  :chuckle:
