Hopkins & Allen under hammer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

olskool · Nov 26, 2024

here is an under hammer i found a couple of weeks ago. it is in 45 and shoots good. somebody fixed the stock on top and did a decent job. I have the globe front sight, I took it off and put this one on so i could see it a little better, I know there is a whole world of these things, if anybody has some knowledge on these i would like to hear it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have one just like it. Underhammers are my favorite gun to shoot.

If you haven't shot it yet you will be wise to get some .433" balls to try before investing in a mould. Many of those H&As liked that size.

I also have one but I hate the plastic Butt plate. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to replace it with brass/iron? Thank you.

i have already got a .433 mold, it shoots good with that or 440,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Simple. Take the plastic off and use it for a pattern on a piece of 3/16" sheet brass.

I could live with that, but the butt stock is flat. The plastic allows for some curvature to better fit shoulder. Hoping someone might have a Schuetzen style I could modify.. Your idea would work fine, however. Thanks.

Your other option would be to sand a curve into the raw butt. The brass would be soft enough to follow the curve when screwed on.

Pecatonica River company shows a kit for the underhammer rifle, and it shows a nice looking steel buttplate as part of the kit. That might be what you're looking for.

I would think each barrel might have a different requirement for ball size. Different years, various tooling etc. also patch material and thickness. I use a .437 ball in mine and always made my own.
