    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Alexander, You could call it an Underhawk! Sorry, I'm not so good with Photoshop, but that would make a really nice rifle. Jimbo

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Bald Mountain and Crackstock, I'm using a Green Mountain barrel, so I haven't discussed the availability of the H&A barrels with him. You might want to call him to get an answer. His phone number is (253) 884 7625. Jimbo

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Choosing the Nipple 1 According to Bruce at Blue Grouse Bruce's Website a #11 cap is all that is necessary to ignite the charge. The nipple is in direct contact with the powder and fires straight up. This result is a big savings vs purchasing musket caps. He also brought up an interesting...

    Green Mountain drop in Barrels for T/C

    Glad to hear about the quality of the Green Mountain barrels. That's what I decided to use on the underhammer I'm having built. If you care to, you can read about it on this thread in builder's bench: Jimbo's Underhammer Jimbo

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Choosing the Barrel 1 My idea for this rifle is to buy additional barrels in the future. I want the first barrel to have exterior dimensions in which a large number of additional calibers are available so I can use the long forend on all of them. For a while, I toyed with the idea of getting...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    I looked at the Numrich (E-Gunparts) site and they seem to be out of most of the H&A underhammer parts. This is his supplier. Jimbo

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Choosing the Action 2 I talked to Dave again, and he says the cast-iron action will polish and case-harden just fine. As to it's durability, Bruce has used them in 4-bores with no problems. I'll be placing the order Monday. The barrel I've chosen has a different thread than the H&A breech...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    The Mowrey's are Very Nice - I saw one in an online auction going for around $300, so the price is quite reasonable. The auction had some good pics: The link to the auction is: Mowrey Percussion Rifle 50cal The same simplicity of design that attracted me to the underhammer. Jimbo

    loooooooooong range gun

    I appreciate all the help and information I received on this thread about the Whitworth barrel. I have found one, but the cost is more than I have allocated for my underhammer project. The following are 3 emails from the seller in the order received.

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Finishing the Stock 1 Dave and I discussed the stock earlier this week. I want the rifle to look like the picture in the first post. He has a beautiful curly maple blank with enough wood for the long forend. I saw a picture of a repro flinter that was finished in a dark whiskey brown. It...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    Choosing the Action 1 After a meeting with Dave, we discussed finishes for the stock and action. I decided on a case-hardened action. I called Bruce after looking at his website, which lists 3 types of actions available: 1. The traditional H & A cast iron. The breech plug is attached...

    Jimbo's Underhammer

    I have decided to have an Underhammer built and I thought I might share details, costs, and pictures of the project. I will do this in a series of posts in hopes that I might help someone interested in a similar project, as well as to solicit advice from more experienced members of this forum...

    Muzzleloading Cleaning

    I learned the hard way about the dry patch down a dirty bore. 2 weeks ago, I did that with my TC Renegade and ended up pulling the tip off the ramrod. Fortunately, I made a distress call to this forum and the members told me to remove the touch hole liner pour in a little FFFF and shoot it...

    loooooooooong range gun

    Ranger, Hope I'm not wearing out my welcome, I have some more dumb questions. I've been studying up on the Whitworth to decide if I want that barrel. I responded to the email telling the man that I was interested in purchasing that unfinished barrel. I asked him for a price plus...

    loooooooooong range gun

    Ranger et al, Sorry to be a pain, but I have located a Whitworth Barrel. The description from the seller is as follows: It appears that this barrel would be fairly easy to adapt to the H&A action. I replied to the email asking for a price quote. Now for the big question :: Do I really...

    Artificial Fouling

    My concern in running the lubed patch clear to the breech is that it might cause problems with the powder in my flinter. I always swab the lube out before I load. I like Lewis' idea about lubing down to the ball. Think I'll try that. My first shot dry is 4-6" to the left and 1" high. I've...
