Normally there is a screw on the opposite side of the lock. So I am not sure I will tell you to do that. And in some rifles to remove them is a real PITA. Sometimes over the years they get all gummed up. Wipe off all metal surfaces on the outside of the rifle and you're protected.
MSI CAMERA DISCORD PATCH
Now put some quality gun oil on a patch and swab the bore. Then dry patch the barrel until when you touch the patch to your skin, you feel no moisture. take a patch and wet it with rubbing alcohol/isopropyl alcohol that you get from a pharmacy. Since the water flowed freely through the rifle bore. The nipple is threaded so it can be turned in and out of the drum. The nipple is directly under the nose of the hammer in the drum/bolster.

But with that old of a rifle and it being a Jukar I would not go over 80 grains of 3f powder. 440 ball and patch over 35 grains of 3f powder would be a good starting load. If you have doubts of your skills, take it to a gun smith. If it looks good you might be able to shoot it. Look for cracks in the stock and rusting around the breech plug and nipple area. Once you have the rifle as clean as possible, inspect the rifle close. Now with some JB Bore Paste, I would scrub that bore at least 100 strokes. When you get the bore as clean as possible, oil the bore. But if you get them to light gray, you might have to be happy. After the bath, I would use some gun solvent and work the bore with patches of that. If you have no bore light, a rolled up ball of tin foil, smaller then the bore of the rifle, down and then a strong flashlight to the edge of the bore will reflect light in the bore and you can get a little view of what might be in there.īut lets say the nipple comes out, the barrel comes off, and its not loaded. And begin pumping the water through the bore of the rifle and the nipple.Īs you clean the bore more and more of years of crud will come out of the barrel. You submerge the nipple and breech end of the rifle under water. If water does come out, and you can get the barrel off, give the rifle a bath. Then keep working wet patches down the bore. Get some cleaning jags, and lots of patches. If nothing comes out the nipple, then start swabbing the bore of the rifle with hot soap and water. The water should come out through the nipple. And with the rifle in that position, pour some boiling water down the bore of the rifle. Tilt the rifle so the nipple is facing down ward. If you don't want to attempt the nipple as it is frozen, then there are a couple ways you can proceed. Sometimes heating the nipple and then trying to get it to move works. You might have to put some penetrating oil down the bore, and around the nipple. If the rifle is as old as your saying, it may be hard to do.

Tilt the rifle to the edge, nipple facing down, in a place (like outside) where if the oil suddenly breaks through it will not damage anything.įirst thing I would do is get a nipple wrench and see if you can get the nipple out of the rifle. If its clogged, dump some penetrating oil down the bore. It might blow out a lot of dust, or be totally clogged. And I don't think those bands are made to be removed.ĭo you have access to an air compressor? If so, hold the jet air head to the top of the nipple and let fly. But on my old Jukar there were actually bands that held the barrel into the stock. Normally there are wedges that hold the barrel to the stock. Please check with a qualified gunsmith before firing any ammunition.Does the barrel come off that rifle? If not you will have to work with it in the stock.
