    Underhammer MLs from Blue Grouse Black Powder

    Old40, I caught the underhammer bug after I saw the Blue Grouse website and I'm having one built (see my thread in the Builder's bench section - - - Jimbo's Underhammer). I had several conversations with him and eventually bought the action. I didn't get good vibes. He was evasive in...

    prelubing minies in mass quantitys?

    I found this TC pre-luber at: October Country It was made by Thompson Center and has an attachment for a tube of Bore Butter. You just push them thru and squeeze on the tube. Thompson quit making them, probably because they'd rather we buy their Pre-Lubed Maxi Hunters. October Country...

    54 Investarm percussion

    Porkchop, Here's a link to Badger Barrels and Ernie Stallman's break-in recommendations for a new one. He says that new barrels should be kept cool, waiting at least 5 minutes between shots. There are instructions for jacketed and non-jacketed projectiles. He says that this break-in...

    THOMPSON CENTER 1 IN 48 TWIST 50 CAL. FLINTER

    I have had a TC Renegade flinter for 20 years and have never had one problem with it. I keep the touch hole, frizzen and pan cleaned and use TC flints. Other than on rainy days, I've rarely had a missfire. The 1:48 twist is versatile, allowing me to shoot both PRB and conicals well. I've...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    BS, I sure appreciate your patience. Let's see if I understand this correctly. My barrel starts at 1.200" and tapers. Until it gets here, I won't have the exact diameter where the nipple goes, but let's use 1.195" as an example. 1.195 diameter minus .54 caliber equals .655". Dividing...

    track of the wolf kits

    I just ordered a custom barrel for my underhammer (see Jimbo's Underhammer) from Ed Rayl. Prices start at about $125 for the in-the-white barrel which will then need finishing. He seems willing to build any style/twist that his customers want. He was very accomodating over the phone. Lead...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Yes, I'm thinking about the splatter cup. One reason is to use is as a rear stop for the ramrod, keeping it away from the nipple and hammer. As regards the special underhammer nipples, where did you get them? Thanks, Jimbo

    Help with first ML

    I subscribe to the Long Range Muzzle Loader Mailing List. In the past week, Pedersoli has taken a lot of heat from these guys about the quality of their high-end target rifles. Unfortunately, I deleted these messages. If any more show up, I'll post a few quotes here. On the other hand, I've...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Speaking of caps, the Zephyrs from Pacific Rifle use musket caps. In fact, the 8-bore African Zephyr has a double nipple and uses TWO musket caps to fire the 300 grain charge. Most of what I've read says that #11's are sufficient. I'm planning mike the tapered barrel where hammer will hit and...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    BS, The fitting of the cap is accomplished by some light filing if it is too tight. If it is too loose, you dry fire it once or twice to peen the nipple. Is this correct? Jimbo

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    I've still got another month befor my barrel is ready. Since everything is on hold until then, I'm reviewing options for the finishing work. Pacific Rifle Company has their Zephyr website up and running again: Pacific Rifle Company From what I've heard, this is the "Cadillac" of the...

    deer creek blues

    This thread is making me really nervous. I am in the process of spending a ton of money to have a custom underhammer built (see Jimbo's Underhammer). I have already purchased a cast-iron action from Blue Grouse (whose supplier is Deer Creek). The cost of $125 is minimal compared to the rest...

    deer creek blues

    How do you get in touch with Deer Creek? Do they have a website or a catalog? I've bought some of their parts, but always through a distributor, never direct. Quality issues aside, they offer some unique products, such as the H&A underhammers and the Mowrey rifles. Jimbo

    Long Range Muzzle Loading (Again)

    I'm having a custom underhammer built using a Hopkins and Allen action (see Jimbo's Underhammer). In addition to hunting, I would like to do some 200+ yard target shooting. The first barrel I have ordered from Ed Rayl is 32", .54 caliber, 1:36 twist. The rifling is .007 with wide grooves and...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Underhammer Update I'm looking a my H&A action from Blue Grouse. I have 2 breech plugs for it. One came with the action and the other I ordered from Bruce to accomodate the threading of a GM dropin barrel (which I subsequently decided not to use). I have ordered a custom barrel from Ed Rayl...
