Scroll down and read CPA's own thoughts on using the through bolt.

The link you have provided no longer shows the image which used to show the triangular piece attached to the lower tang that the through bolt screwed into.

The piece the through bolt screwed into did not appear to be attached to the top tang in the old image CPA used to show.

The block is attached using the existing upper tang hole and the bottom shared the same tapped hole for the hammer spring  on those I have worked on how is yours attached Dave? A picture of it would indeed be very beneficial to the group I have yet to see one only being attached to just the one tang. The link posted was only to show CPA's to me a non recommendation to use the through bolt and the possible cracking of the stock if one does not follow their after each use recommendations.

Reread the posts John.

I was talking about a 1885 High Wall through bolt and referring to the through bolt image previously posted by CPA; which has been removed.

I had previously used a loaned Stevens 44 1/2 (not a CPA) with a through bolt - but do not have possesion of it to take pictures for you.

Also there were previous posts by other ASSRA members who indicated their CPAs were only attached to one tang with the CPA through bolt.

Maybe one of them will reply again to confirm.

Again I stated the 1885 WINCHESTER HIGH WALL is significantly more stable with a stock through bolt.

Since you may not read my initial response it was:

1885 Winchester High Wall with set trigger, coil hammer spring, forearm hanger, skeletonized hammer, bushed Neidner firing pin, and stock through bolt fastener will make a competitive bench rifle

My miss understanding Dave and I apologize I had thought you had mentioned fixing the trigger issues with your CPA through bolt by tightening your lower tang attachment screws and it must have been somebody else.

Just a bit confusing the OP didn't mention having a HiWall action on hand so I was trying to stay with what he did have on hand to work worth and the pros and cons accociated with each of those.

John you seem to be having problems comprehending what I said in a previous post.
I said the central screw on my CPA would come loose and then affect the trigger function of my CPA.
I said I stopped it by using lock tite on the screw.

I never said anything about tightening the tang screw to solve the trigger problem.

Here is a picture of the action so you can understand what central screw I was referring to.

Most anyone I know can figure out which screw is the most central on the action.

Think about it John.

The smaller screw beween the other two smaller screws are on the edge of the action and not towards the center of the action.
So what do you think is the central screw?

It was a straight forward and simple question that must of went over your head I guess.

Why not just get another bbl for your CPA in 32/40 save you money since you already have the rifle. It is acceptable as a traditional rifle. The stock configuration is a slight problem, but you can add a temporary fix so it recoils straight. The bbl can have an add on so it also recoils straight. The CpA is stronger than most. Otherwise use a High Wall they are fairly reasonable now on the internet and there are lots of parts available. Ballards are great, but they are weak and as we grow older, we tend to make mistakes and a double load is not very friendly

John,

Since the lever pivots on the unthreaded "Lever Bolt" (unless CPA changed it to a screw), that leaves three possibilities for what Dave is calling "the central screw".
If Dave's not referring to the "Hammer Screw", then using the Stevens naming conventions, you are left with either the "Trigger Plate Screw long" or the "Trigger Plate Screw short".
