Conneticut Valley Arms (CVA) has been around for many years. They started off selling Hawkin Rifle kits back in the '70's. They are a fine and respected manufacturer. I have one of their in-line .45 caliber magnum blackpowder rifles and it is a tackdriver. Their blackpowder pistols are as good as any of the low to medium priced guns available. As for SASS competition, they would probably work well as beginning equipment but I doubt that they would stand up to heavy use for more than a season or so.
