UnderHammer

Cyknife · Nov 19, 2024

I had a mishap with my Woodsrunner build recently but after the tears dried up I realized an opportunity. I finally found a butt stock for my H&A underhammer action. Salvaging this marvelous piece of maple is a huge relief. I plan on all steel hardware...browned.

Nice save. I’ve got a couple UH rifles. That’s going to be sweet!

Interesting project. Post more in-progress pics, if you can.

Very nice indeed.

I'll true up the "reciever" on surface grinder and re-tap the stock bolt to 3/8 fine. Then polish and match the wood to metal....photos after that.

Looking good!

As someone who just found a minty .45 H&A Numrich UH Pistol, I applaud your project!

Nice job!

Cyknife · Nov 19, 2024

Here's something like progress

Here's a question...are the hammer and trigger serviceable as received or do they require hardening?

Also the stock bolt is actually the shaft from an impact puller hammer... ought to hold up.

Talk about making a silk purse from a sow’s ear! I have an H&A under hammer that is great to shoot, but it is very “utilitarian”. No time was wasted on finishes or any type of ornamentation.
Please post a good full length photo when you are done.

I really like it, and I've been a fan of the H&A under hammers since the 70s.

You have a very nice looking piece of wood. My UH stock is quite plain but I probably will never be motivated enough to replace it.

Wow yes nice piece of wood! I agree with all above would love to see an end of project pics/video. I own several underhammers (my fav) on the H&A action and only one has decent wood like that.

That's a good save & great project for your Under-Hammer, sure looking good. I have 2 of them myself, both in .40 one with a 1:48 twist & one with a 1:24 Twist.

I have only started to work up loads for both of mine. One is a prb & conical shooter. The other is a bullet/conical shooter. Had Hoyt make the bullet barrel & Colerain I got from Pecatonica supply.

The flash channel in the end of the breechplug looks awful small. Maybe just the photo.

Cyknife · Nov 20, 2024

The breech plug is still just a plug (as recieved)...

My BP installed in my barrels are 5/8-18, my Coleraine barrel is 13/16" & my Hoyt barrel is 7/8 both 32" long.
