Owner’s Manual

NEVER pour directly from a can or ask into the barrel.

Place the bullet into the unried section in the muzzle of the rie. Use a bullet 3-

starter to start the bullet into the bore. Use the ramrod to push the bullet down

to the powder charge. The long jag, included, will attach to the ramrod for

greater length when loading and cleaning. Do not store the ramrod under the

barrel with the long jag in place! An accessory tip is included that you can

attach to your ramrod. This tip will protect the bullet tip. It is recommended

that you grab the ramrod no higher than 6 inches from the muzzle when pushing

the bullet into the barrel, working your way up the rod as the bullet goes down.

This will prevent damage to the rod during loading. WARNING! Failure to

seat the bullet fully down on the powder charge may result in a barrel rupture

and possible injury or death.

this does not re the gun, wait at least 1 minute and remove the breechplug.

Push the load from the barrel, clean, and start over.

covered by your warranty and could even render your gun unsafe to shoot.

While many cleaning products are on the market, we recommend that you use the

CVA Barrel Blaster line of products for your CVA Apex rie. Regardless of the

brand of products you choose, you will need to follow these instructions to insure

your rie is cleaned as well as possible. A long jag is included with your rie.

Attach this to your ramrod to convert it into an effective cleaning rod.
