I don't know too much about the Spanish Jukar rifles, but the fellow who reads our gas meter knows I shoot and build ML's and stopped by the house today with the drum from a Jukar rifle and was wondering where he could get a new one. It's one of those that thread in all the way across the breech and has a hole drilled at 90 degrees to the cleanout parallel to the bore. I didn't have the time to check the threads, but I'm assuming that they're metric. Is there anyone selling these? I could turn him a new one, but I would have to use US dies which would mean the hole in the barrel would have to be reamed and re-threaded. I'm not real crazy about making a new part for a rifle of already questionable quality. But if I can find a supplier that sells the right parts, that would be great. He talked like he would like to use a standard drum that just goes in to the bore, not all the way across. I'm not sure that would be a good idea in this case. What do you Jukar shooters think? If it wasn't for a liability issue, I'd probably be better off turning one myself. But that issue is why I'd rather find him a factory drum. Thanks.
