Was cleaning and putting up my CVA and noticed this. Ever seen this before? Time to replace? It's probably 7-8 years old.

I wouldn't be afraid to shoot it, but if I could find a replacement I'd sure prefer that option.
Are you close to brentwood? I've got 2 extras. You are welcome to one of them.

I never have! I've only shot my CVA wolf a dozen or so times tho. I bought a new breech plug for mine to shoot blackhorn. You can get one from Buds Gun Shop online.

I've got an extra if I can find it. I bought the blackhorn 209 breech plug when I got my gun. The breech plugs are cheap to replace

Email or call cva. They may send you a new one free. I dropped mine, and it bent slightly. Bought a new one and an extra along with a few other items from cvas site, very reasonable pricing if you have to buy a new one.

That surprises me. T7 is probably the less corrosive of all the substitutes.

Blackhorn 209 is the cleanest

You are correct...just have always considered it as a smokeless clone and nearly non-corrosive as far as I know compared to all the other subs. It is good stuff

Was the gun stored loaded for an extended period of time?

Not familiar with the model but are you missing an o ring at the bottom as well? If so maybe time for a new one
Before I went smokeless I had 2 cva optimas in stainless. If I left either for 2 days after shooting blackhorn it'd leave stains on the muzzle that I couldn't remove. I liked everything about it but you can't leave it any longer than 777 or pyrodex.
