Several months ago I ran across a used .45 rifle barrel at a flea market. It was a percussion barrel and it sparked my interest as a future project so I brought it home. Upon closer inspection I saw the name "Jukar" and "Spain" stamped on the barrel. The rifling is in excellent shape and the barrel is true. The breechplug came out without much trouble and everything seems to be good quality.The question I have is this, If I build a rifle with it, will it be considered a good choice of barrels, or should I go with a Green Mountain or some other better name? I'm going to use it regardless, but I wanted to know how the muzzleloading world views that name. Incidently, I have a .45 pistol that also has a Jukar barrel and it shoots wonderfully. I am not financially able to put a lot of money into my hobby so I mostly look for deals and the"Poor Boy Specials" I make all the parts that I can by hand to make the gun more personal. I know a lot of you do the same. Thanks, by the way for all the great advice that you all share. Great to be a part of it all. Shannon :grin: :grin: :grin:
