My Flintlock Jukar pistol.

[Rick Boylan]

This is my second flintlock. I figured I had the rifle so I should get a pistol to go with it. I know there is some smack talk about the jukars, but it's a really well made one and sparks like a champ. It's in .45, the same caliber as my rifle.

Neat little gun, I wouldn't mind one a bit :thumbsup:

I have had a few of them pistols in percussion. Neat little guns, would love to have one in flint.

 

[Rick Boylan]

It's a very solid gun. It points naturally for my hand. I can point it at what ever target I determine and when I check the sights are right on target.

Nice thing is it takes the same size round and flints as my Pedersoli rifle.

Had one just like it, even .45, back in 1978 when I was young n dumb. It was a hoot, cant recall who traded me outta it for what. However at that time in my life I probably dont wanna know either! :redface:

I've had 3 or 4 various percussion jukars, i thought they were junk at first. I came to like them in spite of my initial bias and now have 2 i consider indispensable.. a little Philadelphia Derringer and the 10" barrelled Kentucky. They are early and mid seventies pistols and so are getting to be classics imho..
Neat thing too about these guns are how many come to us enthusiasts as unfired.. yours looks to be like new. Congrats on a very nice pistol.

Yep, it's unfired. I plan to change that when the weather gets warmer. :haha:

That is one of the early models made before 1981. The locks were changed in the early 1980;s. Not really better just a different shape. The comparable year percussion models came with a bolster breech plug instead of a drum and nipple.

The same locks and change over occurred with the CVA Tower pistols during the early 1989's

I got one years ago just like it. $15 at a gun show. I figured if nothing else, it was worth it for the parts. Someone put it together and shot it in the white and left it that way. It actually cleaned up nice and fired good but that's before I knew it wasn't suppose to.

 

[Rick Boylan]

Kind of like a bumble bee isn't supposed to be able to fly but since nobody told it that it can't fly it does it anyway. :hatsoff:

 

[Rick Boylan]

I always figured that the CVA and the Jukar were the same gun. Just sold by different companies.

Nice looking pistol. I have a CVA frontier I bought in the early 80's as a factory assembled gun. It wasn't a kit like my other CVA rifles are. It's a percussion unfortunatly. I'd like to get a flintlock pistol. I'll have to get a photo of it to post.

 

[Rick Boylan]

I am wondering if the Jukar makers also made guns for CVA. They sure look like some of the guns sold under the CVA name.

I own a CVA Hawken model in .50 and it's a great shooter. It's a caplock and was the second black powder gun I ever bought. Still have it and still enjoy it. It's hanging over my fireplace most of the time. I need to get it down and put a few balls down range.

They(Jukar) made guns for both Traditions and CVA at one time as well as other dealers. CVA put their name on them eventually. I don't knw who does Traditions now but CVA is out of the tradition rifle business now.

I have one that was giving to me. I need to put it together.I think I'm missing a piece that holds the barrel.Will be fun to shoot when I'm done.
