well i got me a new gun, so far ive had wonderful luck shooting it but would like to know some background and opinions. Its a Ultra- Hi rifle made by miroku, japan. i believe circa mid 1970s. it does have the two piece stock but all in all a well fit, cared for rifle that shoots great. i would like to know what time period would it be suited for? its a percussion rifle so i know post 1830s.
 
Be prepared for a lot of comments about how your gun "doesn't look like a Kentucky".
While this is somewhat valid because it doesn't represent any defined "Schools" of the Kentucky rifle it is a "generic" gun that was meant to give the feeling of a late period fullstock.
These guns styling often includes narrow butts with deeply curved buttplates which would roughly fit the 1840-1860 time period.
 
the first thing I would do is pull the barrel out and check to see if the breech plug is welded in. some of thes were almost meant for wall hangers. there is a reason ultrahigh is not in business now. keep the loads light if you choose to shoot this more.
good luck..........
 
ive given it the once over and had a gunsmith cvheck it for me... it check out just fine as a shooting piece. i know that miroku, japan also makes shotguns for winchester and browning as well.. seems to be a well made rifle.
