Hello. I inherited two black powder rifles from my late uncle. One is Japanese made, likely from the Korea war timeframe. The other is a “newer” Thompson Arms model. The Japanese 45 caliber rifle has a cracked through the barrel, and will never be fired again. The Thompson, I have yet to inspect.
WELCOME

The top rifle is an Ultra-Hi brand muzzleloader, with a faux patch box. They came in percussion and flintlock, and were made for Ultra-Hi by Miroku
I’m ignorant of BP everything. Fired one 38 yrs ago. What is a “percussion” as opposed to flintlock?
I ran a rod & brush down the barrel and was shocked at what came out: powder. Don’t know it’s residue or corrosion. I did my best to clean it out and lubricant the barrel for storage.

Post questions for additional information under Percussion rifles, and you'll get a lot more information, and more in depth too.

Good info. Thank you. The T/A is in very good condition and I wouldn’t be afraid to fire it.
