Found a couple of new old stock Jukar pistol kits

[waarp8nt]

Put together a Jukar Kentucky Rifle kit before I could drive, it cost me $35 at a pawn shop back in the day. Found these on auction last week, so I picked them up and took a closer look at them today. One had some stain and clear put on the stock without a lick of sanding being done. Stripped it today and loosely assembled the other to see how far off the inletting was going to be. It appears the barrel is going to have to be inlet quite a bit more at the breech plug to level out and properly fit the lock. Overall I'm impressed that after all these years only the sights were missing from one kit and the underlug from the other. Both could be made easily enough if the parts cannot be found.

Congrats on your find. They look very "fixable"

Cool find. Deercreek Products should have parts.

Thanks, looking forward to tinkering with them as I have time.

I think you'll find that those Jukar drums backout easily.

Remove it. Make a shim. Reinstall and time it so it lines up with the hammer.

Good find.

Don't go messing with that drum. By the time you get the barrel inletted down to where the drum fits the lockplate notch correctly that nipple will be lined up perfectly with the hammer.

I was about to say that as well.The nipple and hammer shouldn't be "adjusted" until after the inletting is done.

I took a look under the breech plug tang area and found it was inlet at an angle. Started flattening that angle and the barrel started dropping into place. Just a little more to go and already the nipple is lining up with the hammer as it should.
