CVA has issued a safety recall notice for all CVA Paramount muzzleloading rifles, including Paramount, Paramount HTR, Paramount Pro, and Paramount Pro V2. The bulletin pertains to all production years of these models.

Owners are required to cease use of all Paramount muzzleloading rifles immediately and, if loaded, safely unload. Owners unfamiliar with the unloading process can find instructions in Section 17 of the owner’s manual, which is available online here [PDF].

These conditions may create an increased risk of failure, serious injury, or death to the user or bystanders during initial or subsequent firings.

Instructions for Owners
Immediately discontinue use of your Paramount muzzloading rifle and refrain from loading or firing, if currently loaded. For detailed instructions regarding the remedy, and to begin the recall process, please visit this webpage.
