i had this problem with my cva wolf once. i had fired the gun, cleaned it, put it up. got ready for my muzzleloading hunt pulled the gun out, went to the woods, loaded up, had a pig in front of me later that day, pull the trigger, snap. got home took the firing pin apart and it was all crudded up with fouling. try to disassemble the firing pin and put it back together then fire a primer out in the yard.
See my signature. 🙂
Good luck!
I've never had an issue with my CVA Buckhorn but it doesn't have a hammer. I'd agree on the cleaning thing. Could just be some grease in there but it also could be the firing pin screw is backed out some. I'd check everything out really good before shipping it back. Look at your manual and remove the firing pin according to the instructions and reinstall. It just may be something as simple as that. Good luck.
Well I figured it out and I'm almost embarased. I took it apart once more and re inspected everything. Put a little graphite on the pin and spring and put it back together. When I was putting the barrel back on the reciever I noticed a shinny spot on the bottom of the scope. Turns out I just had the scope set to far forward and the hammer was hittting it when fired :oops . It was clear when cocked and uncocked but when fired it barely hit the bell of the scope keeping it from making a full stroke. I slid the scope 1/2 inch back and it shoots like a champ. Made me feel kind of stupid but atleast I figured it out before all the hassle of shipping it back for nothing. Thanks anyways for letting me pick your brains :toast
Good deal. Beats sending it back to the factory to have them send it back and say nothings wrong with it!
