Open breach? Your pics aren't showing. Did you get the barrel replace if it falls into the recall posted below?

The CVA Apollo series of muzzleloaders were good guns.
A lot of guys have killed a lot of deer with them.
CVA did have a problem with an overly deeply drilled screw hole in a production run that increased the chances of the barrel bursting. They had a recall and replaced the barrel or rifle for the people that responded to the recall.
Here is what CVA says about the recall on the FAQ section of their web site:
"1. How can I tell if my muzzleloader is included in the CVA recall?
Answer: In August 1997, CVA implemented a Voluntary Recall of all In-Line rifle models with serial numbers ending in 95 or 96. Example: 61-13-XXXXXX-95, or 61-13-XXXXXX-96. If you have a CVA In-Line model with such a serial number do not use or allow anyone else to use the gun. If you have one of these riffles, call CVA immediately at 770-449-4687 for complete details and a replacement rifle."
If you have any concerns about your CVA Apollo, contact CVA and discuss your concerns with them before firing or selling the gun
