My son in law has a pistol handed down from his grandad,purchased about 30 years ago.
It's a single shot 'pirate' pistol,percussion.
The booklet says T/C,but the gun is not so marked....just Jukar Spain .45 caliber.
1. Did T/C maybe sell Jukars in their t/c boxes 30 years ago? I'm doubtful.
2. the bore had some bp remnatnts in it,but cleaned up amazingly well,very very good looking bore,got lucky there?
3. looks like the powder charge using bp or equivelants will be in the 30 to 35 grain range?
..I have them written down exactly for each type.
4.The gun shown in the pamphlet is the Patriot with double triggers,this is not that gun,so thinking the booklet may have just found it's way in there from the previous owner as the brass flask throws a 60 grain charge.He may have had more than one bp weapon is my thinking.
Did Jukar make decent bp weapons? this one looks pretty good as far as fit and finish,much better than my off brand spanish made rifle.
I know,,,no pictures :( I'll work on that when the camera comes back home from the shop I work at.
