Title: cva ultra mag
Post by: KB88 on September 18, 2013, 11:53:58 AM: I have a cva ultramag sitting in my safe, is there a way to convert this to be legal in WA? I'm new to MLing and don't know much, and my searches are fruitless.

However, if the bolt closes around the nipple it will not be legal.
If the cap is exposed when ready to fire, it will be legal.

Sorry, I was correcting my comment.

Using the Hunterbolt breech plug and musket cap nipples, you will have to adjust the thread depth to get everything perfect.
Just make sure you don't cover the cap.
