Done some trading with a feller yesterday and got a great deal on a mess of lock parts! But that's for another thread. Before I left, I mentioned that I was looking for a pistol stock, and the gentleman had one in an outbuilding. Had a percussion barrel and a trigger assembly on it too. Recognized it as an early Jukar or Dikar pistol, of the type CVA changed up a bit and called the Colonial. Got it for a picture of General Jackson.
Turned out it had something in the bore. After pouring down water I pulled an extremely tightly patched ball from it.
Then, I began to work on removal of the barrel. I forgot to take a picture before starting work on it. It had an interesting way of being attached to the stock.
