threads and use a low grade thread sealant or a small drop of household white glue

SCOPE MOUNTING

CVA ries come drilled and tapped for easy installation of a scope and mounts.

Do not drill additional holes in your barrel as this can weaken the barrel and cause

it to burst, resulting in severe injury or death.

The CVA Apex comes with a properly tted DuraSight Z2 Alloy scope rail that is

compatible with the Weaver-style system. CVA recommends the use of DuraSight

brand scope rings. The use of a quality ring such as the DuraSight will insure you

have a strong and durable set-up. Follow the instructions on the scope ring’s factory

packaging. Make sure that the rear bell of the scope is an appropriate distance from

your eye so that you are not struck by the scope during recoil.

REMOVING AND CHANGING THE BARREL

The Apex rie offers great versatility through the use of an interchangeable barrel

system. To remove or change the barrel you must remove the forend using a

properly tting screwdriver. This will reveal the pin that the barrel pivots on. Using

a hammer and a soft punch made of brass, aluminum, plastic or other non-marring

material, tap the pivot pin out of the receiver. The barrel will pivot forward and

off the frame. To replace the barrel, carefully line up the pivot pin holes in the

frame and the barrel and tap the pin back into place. If you meet any resistance

in replacing the barrel, STOP and investigate the cause. ALWAYS remove and

replace the pivot pin with the rie in the open position.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIT ANY BARREL OTHER THAN A GENUINE CVA

APEX BARREL TO YOUR APEX RIFLE. OTHER BARRELS MAY NOT FIT

PROPERLY AND WILL BE DANGEROUS TO FIRE.

NOTE: Centerfire and rimfire barrels require a different forend from the

muzzleloading barrel. The item numbers differ depending on the material and

nish.

ADJUSTING THE TRIGGER PULL

Your CVA Apex features a trigger mechanism that is adjustable for the weight of pull

by utilizing the screw located just behind the trigger guard on the underside of the

frame. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the weight of pull or counterclockwise

to lower the weight of pull. There is a pre-set minimum weight that will prevent

you from making the pull dangerously light.
