Yeah it was a nightmare. That system interlocked with the breech plug and then they drilled the port to the barrel through the side of the bolster through the muzzle. My CVA Hawken’s was drilled incomplete/wrong and had spotty ignition at first. A gunsmith tried to fix it but then the bolster broke at the barrel flat. I extracted the remains and found a replacement bolster for these from Dixie or somewhere that gets rid of the stupid interthreaded mess. But it’s a pretty janky setup now LOLThanks to all who mentioned me! My experiences with CVA stuff has been mostly ASM. Quality has been mostly pretty good but I personally own one that's not so good. Those mountain rifles mentioned above I believe came from Eibar or something like that in Spain. They were middle of the road quaility but shoot accurately. The cap guns have this really long bolster that the nipple mounts on that threads all the through the breechplug almost to the opposite side. It has to be removed before any attempt to remove the breechplug is tried. Not sure what the thinking was on that one.
