ok i am at a loss i tried everything that has been suggested and it still wont fire, i called cva all they had to say was clean it and if i didnt want to clean it then they would sell me a new one(thanks) i loaded it with fresh pellets and a sabot yesterday and tried to shoot it ..no go, poped 3 caps and then pulled the breach plug and checked the flash hole still open but wont fire the powder, i guess this is what i get for not staying with my 30-06 or 343win
