CVA Custom Shop

[Snaggletooth]

I was searching for a CVA double shotgun and came across a reference to The CVA Custom Shop. Anyone familiar with it and what does it do. Are guns that have been through the shop worth more?

I'm not familiar with it but it appears that around 1997 the CVA Custom Shop built 300 limited edition 25th Anniversary Mountain Rifles.
Being sold as limited editions and labeled as made in the U.S.A. probably did enhance their value.
But I'm not sure how many other products that the "CVA Custom Shop" actually made or offered.

CVA Celebrates 25th Anniversary of Mountain Rifle The rifle that made CVA famous is back! The 25th Anniversary Limited Edition CVA Mountain Rifle commemorates Connecticut Valley Arms' first quarter century as the leading manufacturer of muzzleloading guns and accessories. Modeled after the original CVA Mountain Rifle, which helped launch the rebirth of blackpowder hunting and shooting in the early 1970's, this gun authentically replicated the no-nonsense rifle of the mountain men who first explored the American West. Featuring all browned steel hardware, fine figured American hard maple stock, buckhorn rear sight and German silver wedge plates and blade front sight, this rifle offers custom quality and true traditional appeal. Designed to shoot patched round balls, the 32" browned steel barrel has 1 in 66" rifling and is extremely accurate.

Made in the USA and limited to a production run of only 300 finished guns, this CVA Mountain Rifle is a great choice for the collectors as well as the hunter. Each finished rifle comes with a traditional fringed suede leather gun case and bullet pouch. Call the CVA Custom Shop for additional information at (770) 449-4687.
