Jenks Rifle Barrel Band

[rescuerandy2]

Good Evening,

Just purchased a beautiful Jenks Rifle that is missing its front, brass, barrel band/w sight blade. Looking for a gunsmith/craftsman who is comfortable with brass and can fabricate the band. Thanks, Randy

Might check with S&S firearms...they have lots of obscure antique gun parts

Will do. Have worked with them before.

Thanks,

Good Afternoon,

Back from the range and the Jenks shot very well with its newly made front band/sight. There was a bit of blowback but I got used to it and the musket was in the blak at 50 yards. A .526 ball with 40 grains of 1F powder was just fine.
