54 Cal.
Ok, I know this will be real easy for most everyone, however locally we don’t have much exposure to muzzleloaders let alone older foreign ones. I recently acquired for cheap with a missing lock. I need positive identification please so I can source out a correct lock. Perhaps even the proper name of the lock required.
Anyhow, its a 32”, 7/8” octagon .45 cal percussion, very shallow rifled (I suspect a previous owner took a wire brush on a drill to the bore btw) full stock Kentucky style gun. It has a 2 piece generic hardwood stock with about a 3” brass wrap covering the seam. 1/4” ramrod with a worm (spiral) slotted tip on one end. Brass furniture. No markings on the barrel with the exception of serial number (located right side of barrel mid length down), “.45” on left side 6” ahead of breech and “SPAIN” on underside flat right ahead of breech. Percussion breech is patent (not drum) with sharply angled nipple. I suspect this is an old Jukar based on looks exactly like pictures of some Jukar pistols I found online.
I will try to post pictures but really struggle with this aspect.
Thanks
