CVA Customer Service

dwinsor · Jul 25, 2014

I contacted CVA and told them that the thimble that holds my ramrod on had come off. They sent me a customer authorization form and told me it would be 3 to 4 weeks, I sent my gun to them.

I got my gun back in one week fixed.

The only thing I didn't like is they removed the teflon from my BP and firing pin bushing, they said they recommended the Breech plug grease. They used some kind of anti seize. It took me a long time to clean that out of the threads of the gun and plugs. That stuff got everywhere, I don't see how anyone uses it. Put teflon back on my plugs and installed them, I am happy now.

CVA also gave me a code for 30% off merchandise over $50.00

All in all I have to give CVA a big thumbs up, I would recommend them to anyone.

Several years ago, my firing pin broke on the Thursday before ML weekend. I went to the CVA offices in Norcross on Friday morning and walked out with a new firing pin installed. I hunted that weekend, but didn't get a shot. That made me a CVA customer for life.

As for the anti-seize, I use it and don't worry about it. yeah, it gets everywhere, but it's non-corrosive, so I don't really care. I also use it on my shotgun choke tubes. I've had to remove a few stuck ones over the years, and it's a PAIN.

I ordered a ramrod Monday at 11:30 am, ups delivered 7:00pm Tuesday. Fast, that was standard 2-3 day shipping.
CVA didn't me a code for 30% off merchandise over $50.00
Good service anyway!

CVA is a great company. And I love my Optima Elite. I have a .45, 45-70 Government, 7mm-08, and a .308 barrel for it.

My first and only muzzle loader is a CVA Optima Magnum that I bought from Cabela's. Whe it arrived, the ram rod was slightly bent. I called CVA and the immediately sent me a new one.
In addition, between the manual and local advice, I had several different opinions on loads, powder, cleaning, etc...
I happen to call CVA during normal business hours while I was at the range to make sure I was operating the gun appropriately, and one of their guys stayed on the phone with me as I sighted in the rifle, cleaned it, reloaded it, etc...until I was comfortable using it.
They set the bar for customer service.

I bought a bottle of the anti-seize I would say is about 12 ounces with a brush. Been using it for years from automotive to breech plug to casting molds. I suspect it will last a lifetime.

I have a CVA .223 rifle that was leaving the brass "pregnant" on one side. I believe the factory barrel was a .222 and they reamed it out to a .223 since it was stamped .222 on the underside (laser engraved on top as .223). They probably got the reamer off center when reaming out. Gave them a call and they had me send in the gun and put me a new barrel on free of charge.
