Firearm Forum Question: CVA In-Line Black Powder Rifle Recall Notice

Ask A Firearms Question:
I just bought my first Black Powder In-Line Rifle, it is a used CVA, now I was told it may be on a RECALL list. Also that CVA is no longer in business. What should I do?
Thank you Henry J. Thomas.

Here is an example of a CVA In-Line Black Powder Rifle that exploded in use.

Answer:
Blog Administrator -
Yes, some CVA In-Line Rifles are on a Nationwide Recall List. And, yes, CVA was purchased by Blackpowder Products, Inc.
CVA (Connecticut Valley Arms) is still handling the recall on these particular Black Powder Rifles, see notice from company below.
The CVA In-Line Rifles on the RECALL List have the following Serial Numbers (S/N): 61-13-XXXXXX-95 and 61-13-XXXXXX-96.
Check your serial number and if the Firearm is in this manufactured series you need to return it for repair or replacement.

IMPORTANT: 
1) The Recall notice was issued by CVA August 1997.
2) Blackpowder Products purchased CVA May 1999.
