Hello,
I really like my Jukar CVA short Kentucky-like rifle. It's accurate.
The barrel is a bit rough and I was thinking about replacing it, but don't want to kill the accuracy that the barrel has, so I figure I'll keep it.
Was going to replace the lock, but I'd want a barrel to match the quality of a new lock.
If I replaced the lock and barrel, I might as well replace the stock. Then I'd have built a new rifle and could reassemble the Jukar :rotf:
Not really what I have in mind.
However, I've read that the Spanish locks without the bridles tend to be a bit weak, wearing excessively.
Been looking at the tumbler, and it would not be hard at all to install a stud for a bridle.
The bridle itself I could custom make. I make extractors and things for centerfire guns of mine all the time.
The question is, is the rest of the lock worth it? I've not yet figured a way to put a fly in the tumbler, though I'm sure it's possible. Not sure it's necessary though.
Anyway, what do you think: Would it be worth it to install a bridle on a Jukar's lock?
Thanks,
Josh
