CVA Paramount Muzzleloadersafety Recall

CVA is issuing a safety recall for all Paramount, Paramount HTR, Paramount Pro, and Paramount Pro V2 muzzleloading rifles. This recall pertains to all production years of these models. Owners are required to cease use of all Paramount rifles immediately and, if loaded, safely unload them as instructed in Section 17 of the owner’s manual.

  • Use of incorrect or incompatible powder
  • Improper loading, cleaning, or storage procedures

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