back a hundred years ago,before inlines,(LOL) we would do a few things to improve ignition. first,always replace the nipple. it doesnt HAVE to be peened over any at all.what happens on one that has been fired a lot is it simply burns up.once its not square anymore on top the first blow actually seats the cap on the nipple,and the next fires it. when you replace the nipple,make sure you get the proper threads,AND length. there is a wide variety of them. for the fellow who has problems with his revolver,this is your problem also most likely. NEXT and very important,hammer MUST hit nipple squarely not just on one side.the effect of one not hitting squarely,(and this is the main problem with every cva sidelock ive ever owned) is just like having a nipple burnt up. the PROPER way to fix this is to heat the hammer and bend it. believe this or not,thats why the locks are most often heat blued,you wont hurt the hammer by heating it.it soft and is meant to be bent. cva simply doesnt take the time to hand fit them,and in fact most manufacturers dont. as for the charge not entering the bolster,cva has always had this problem. they use a screw in bolster that has a small hole in it.what i do on mine is make sure i tap side of rifle many times.if i am seriously hunting i will even pull the nipple and make sure powder is there,and nipple is clean,when i load it in the mornings.i dont use my sidelocks much anymore,unless i am hunting a state thate that requires it,but when i do i want it to fire so the extra few seconds it takes to load is often worth more than hours or days of hunting time. hope this helps.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
