So I recently acquired this:
It's a Jukar from Spain, in fairly rough shape. The lock was so dirty it wouldn't hold full cock, and the barrel is either double/triple charged (or possibly has about 5/6 balls in it). Stripped it, and it will be fine after some cleaning and minor adjusting of the lock. However I'm not sure the barrel is worth messing with. The clean out screw on the drum is frozen, and the drum is frozen. The nipple came out okay, which was honestly a surprise.
The bore is has a significant amount of rust, and I imagine there will be pitting if I clean it out. At this point I'm thinking I'll just get a replacement barrel. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go for a full barrel (breech plug, drum, etc)?
Thanks!
