Jukar kentucky pistol

[USMCsniper]

I have a Jukar kentucky pistol (caplock), and I am wanting to convert it to a flintlock. How sould I go about removing the drum?

 

Jukar's were made in Spain (I think in the 1970's) and are very simular to the early CVA guns, with the drum-hole drilled thru the barrel and into the counter-bored breechplug.

Alto it was stongly advised to never attempt to remove the breechplug,.... remove'n the drum isn't a problem, it should jest unscrew.

The drum hole probly has metric threads, and the CVA vent-liner will probly screw back in.

I'm guess'n a CVA flint lock will also fit the Jukar percussion mortise.

You can anneal the temper from a metric set screw and drill it with a touch hole for a vent liner. Works pretty good with an allen head wrench. I've done several that way.

You would do well to look into an L&R replacement lock from one of the better suppliers instead of the CVA flintlock. You will probably have to adjust the inlet a bit anyway and the replacement will be a better lock. Would probably at least have a bridled tumbler. Cost is not that much different.

:imo: A better lock here is akin to putting a 500 dollar saddle on a twenty dollar horse.

I agree with tanstaafl! I used my $35 Jukar to practice on. I filled the RR hole with a glued in wood dowel and redrilled it in the proper place, also larger for a proper wooden RR. I made the RR for it. I narrowed down the lock and sideplate panels. I inlet the lock in deeper to further slim it, I had to bend the hammer a little for this. The panels are now about 1/4" wide, I narrowed the foreend down to 1/16". I left the brass sideplate proud about half the thickness of the plate and beveled the edge to blend it in. I might do some more shaping of it and eventually I will practice engraving on it. I cut the foreend down on the bottom side cutting halfway through the RR hole giving it some contour. I then made a brass RR pipe out of sheet brass and installed it. There isn't enough room for a nosecap or a RR entry pipe, it just isn't long enough. I cut the front dovetail for a front sight and I am in the process of making the sight. I have also started to do some carving on the grip behind the lock panel but I put that on hold as it wasn't going very well. I need to change my technique and practice on a hunk of wood first before continuing on the gun. I also experimented with some stain but I am not happy with it and I will try something else when I am done carving on it. I have contoured around the front of both side panels and I plan on carving in a moulding along the RR channel. I've actually had a lot of fun destroying a $35 gun but it is actually turning out really nice. I haven't majorly screwed anything up yet except maybe the carving but I can still fix that. I have really taken a LOT of wood off of this gun and I haven't even touched the grips yet. Does anyone have a $35 jukar they want to get rid of??? ::

I'v got a $35. Jukar .45 Flinter that I built back in the late '70's. That little Spanish lock fires every time. It's easy on flints and, by the way, a heck of a lot of fun to shoot. And, no, it's not for sale! :results:

Yea, a Jukar, or CVA lock is good enough for my needs.

 

I,ve got an old CVA flintlock, just the lock that I'll sell ya for $20, and I'll pay post on it if you're interested. It's been sitting in a drawer in my garage for twenty years, took it out a couple weeks back, soaked it in kerosene, and wire brushed the rust off it but it still functions good. Pm me if you are interested Bill

Thaks! Now does anyone have a vent-liner they would be willing to part with? ::

Vent hole.If yours is a CVA back out the drum and try a 8.8mm vent.RunningBear. ::
