CVA Electra BP Rifle

The place for beginners, or anyone else, to talk about gun, gear, and shooting topics with a minimum of jargon and/or geekery. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask that blows up in your face later.

WARNING: :jacked:

I've wondered about piezo-electric for BP ignition...

Thoughts?

If you're worried about percussion caps, don't forget that NPR showed us this a while back.

Don't sweat batteries. Buy a case of those crank powered flashlights, inlet one of their dynamos into the stock. Extras are for eventual replacement. Crank it up before you go out, it should hold the charge for hours (my little emergency crank flashlight gave me bright output weeks after charging it up). You could also wire in the LEDs.

Just think of it as the modern equivalent of winding up a wheel-lock.

I'm not sure, but it's been done before, at least in experimental form, decades ago. Hell, they experimented with inline rifles before percussion caps were invented(with little luck, I might add).

I just wish Remington, Savage, T/C, etc would come out with a smokepole like Ultimate Firearms BXP. It uses a 45 Win mag case as a carrier for a Magnum rifle primer.
