Any web links to the items needed for this rifle would be great:
1. Ramrod
2. lead round balls
3. Black powder
4. replacement nipple
5. manual/parts diagram

kno3mike, Ramrod and nipples from Bass Pro Shop, measure threads to get correct size. Lead round balls, check my pm to you. Black Powder at Bass Pro, you will have to ask for it. Manual/parts diagram, try Google for jukar m/l or maybe Dixie Gun Works. Doug

Call these guys.

they have everything, even the BP (if you want to use real BP), and will almost certainly be able to tell you what size your tang screw is.

Think that should read "Made by Miroku Japan" Miroku is a respected gun manufacturer and I'm not aware of any town by that name. Miroku has made guns for Browning and Winchester, so I would think that your gun is worth restoring.

There is a good deal of information if you search for "miroku black powder"

Longhunter......you are correct....Made by Miroku....Japan.....I found something I can use for the tang screw....but the nipple will have to be replaced to get in working order....don't know which size to order...if I can, I'll get a family member to post photos.
