Howdy all!
The Jukar percussion pistol arrived. It’s pretty cool. As expected lots of this and that imperfection which makes it a perfect practice piece. The trigger has an interesting modification. Worked perfectly fine so it stays just as it is. Half cock works fine. It is in the white and appears unfired.
The stock has some sort of walnut stain and it’s a very very lightweight wood. Would have done iron nitrate first but I’ve seen several references to people using it after stain so I’m gonna try it.
Making up some browning solution and then will probably work on the brass a bit. It’s a little plain.
Anyway, super happy with it. And I’m already planning a flintlock pistol to follow this one.
