Has no markings. .40 cal rifled barrel. Was told it took several deer decades ago. Any idea?
Thanks

No markings usually means Jukar, and a kit, hence the lack of a serial number, too. They were supplied as a set of components with barrels and breech plugs that you assembled, and were therefore exempt from the need to be proofed in the country of origin.

I haven’t seen one of these in maybe 35 or 40 years. I’ve held them…I’ve never actually owned one…were there any markings under the barrel? That’s a Jukar…If there are no markings under the barrel, then it was a kit…

.40 calibre is a bit surprising…mostly, they were .45 calibre, then later .50 calibre.
 
It appears to me to be a percussion version of an Ultra-Hi rifle made by Miroku in the mid 1970s. I have the same rifle in flintlock.
 
I guess that settles it then. It's either Spanish or Japanese and either an Ultra-High, Jukar or CVA, and either a .40 or a .45 and possibly, but not necessarily kit built. Does that about sum it up?

Actually it should be a very good shooter if the bore's good.
 
It's been years but, if memory serves mine was a green mountain or so I was told by an older set of eyes than mine who built long guns in my town. ??? matters not, It shot well & took several deer. I was a happy camper!!!
