What’s Included
- Jukar Kentucky .45 caliber percussion muzzleloader rifle
The 33" octagonal barrel provides a long sight radius and classic styling, while its rifled bore with good lands and grooves supports reliable black-powder accuracy. The steel barrel is paired with a straight-wrist hardwood stock that mirrors 18th-century American long rifles and offers a 13" length of pull for comfortable shouldering.
Iron sights consist of a dovetail blade front and fixed rear notch, giving shooters a period-correct sight picture. The rifle operates with a single-shot, percussion ignition system using #11 caps on an external hammer, delivering a traditional loading and firing experience.
Brass furniture—including the trigger guard, patch box, and butt plate—adds visual appeal and historically appropriate detail. As an early CVA import, this Jukar Kentucky represents a formative piece in the rise of modern black-powder shooting, making it an appealing choice for reenactors, range use, or display.
