Winner winner chicken dinner!

It's definitely an Ultra-High lock and stock... the wide brass stock spacer is the giveaway just as is the side plate.
The odd part is the lack of a faux patchbox, normally found.
BUT Miroku, like their Italian competitors would allow importing retailers to special order modifications, and perhaps this version was sans the faux patch box ?

Glad i was wrong!! Miroku was fairly high quality for the time and do have a rep for accuracy. Miroku made the Tenn MTN Rifle which is now very $$$ and hard to find. The Lock is unlike any Jukar (or other design) i have seen but could be upgraded by adding a bridle and tuning. Possibly locks were subbed out to spain to meet price points. Without a fly adding a set trigger my not work FWIW Jukars were banned from our range after the "nipple thru roof" incident and was first stop on range tour/rules session for newbies.
 
My first muzzleloader was a CVA KIT in flintlock that I bought in 1974. It was marked Jukar and was identical to the subject rifle except a flintlock. It even had the thin sheet brass cover for the two piece stock. I suspect other firms marketed it as well.
