Hello All,
I have an 30-40 yr old .45 caliber Jukar (Made in Spain) black powder rifle that was abandoned in my house over and my relative does not want it, has given it to me (yes, I still have the email from 20 years ago).
It appears to be unloaded (ramrod goes all the way in, can see nothing down the barrel, not that I stuck my eyeball down it).
It is very dirty (as in dust and dirt) but otherwise looks to be in good condition.
I have no manual, could not find one on the internet.
I have never owned, loaded, fired a black powder rifle, although I hunt regularly and bow hunt. I do not know any of the terminology of a muzzle loader other than muzzle. No idea what type and quantity of powder to use, what type primer/cap to use.
How can I get started getting this thing cleaned up to use.
A free rifle is a free rifle.
Thanks
