CVA Jukar .45 Kentucky style

Well found a Kentucky Style Jukar .45 imported by CVA sometime ago. I got wood worked out to my liking. I tried to import photos, was not happening for some reason, Decent little .440 and patch slinger.

I've only owned two C&B pistols starting in the 1960s.  They were .44s and plenty accurate.  The only one I'd love to have now is a Colt Pocket Police .36 in any barrel length.  The only pistol I have now is a .50 flintlock which matches my .50 rifle in both caliber and wood.

Love to get me hands on a similar .45 Rifle

My go-to rifle is a .45 Lancaster style flintlock.  Maybe it's something along these lines you're thinking about.  There is also a little .45 I use for targets/postal shoots/etc.

Hanshi, I've been checking the online auctions from time to time. Every time I find a .45 whether flintlock or percussion, the bids will go crazy towards the end of bidding. Really a .45 for hunting here in Colorado is probably unrealistic, but sometime you just have to have one.

Yup I am looking, Checking auctions as well. I seen the crazy making

It has been my experience that the Spanish & Italian barrels compare very well with American made barrels.  That little rifle was built with parts from here and there and only the stock was built from a plank - unfortunately the builder has retired.  The barrel has no ID markings, is 15/16" by 25".  He did not know where the barrel actually originated, only that is is pristine and accurate.  The lock was probably from some import and is a good one.  It has a flat breech and the whole rifle is designed for kids and what he calls his "Rugrat" rifles; it fits me perfectly.  

I guess what I'm getting at is that an old imported "parts rifle" with a decent bore would be a good start.  The set trigger on mine is broken but the unset pull is nice and light.  While it's beyond my ability to refurbish/build a usable rifle but it used to be possible for me to do so.  It ]i]may[/i] be a good idea and rather inexpensive as well to go that route; I just don't know for sure.  The only .45 I own that was cheaper but sensationally accurate is an H&A underhammer I bought going on 55 years ago.  I've also owned and taken lots of deer with imports, some new and some indifferently assembled from a kit requiring a bit of work to function.  Good luck at finding one at an honest and reasonable price; they are out there.
