    Rifled 8 gauge, or other big bore???

    I'm sorry but I've never shot the gun. I need a mold for a round ball and just haven't found one yet. The rifle is heavy and I don't see a problem shooting it unless too much powder is used. When I do get some round balls I plan on starting out with about 200 Gr of FF and go from there. It's...

    Rifled 8 gauge, or other big bore???

    I have a beautiful custom 4-gauge rifle from the Gun Works. I've purchased several guns from them and have always been happy with each.

    Cabela's Blue Ridge Line of Flintlocks

    Just got one .32 caliber before the end of last year from Cabalas for less than $500. I have at least 7 custom made muzzleloaders and for what I paid for the Blue Ridge it's well worth it. I don't believe that you could have a similar one made by hand for near the cost. It's not a fancy by any...

    .40 did it then

    There are a number of old home places around here and I've searched a number with out finding any loose change.....My dad told me not to expect to find any because most of the people here in the Ozarks at that time period didn't have it to loose. Powder, balls and any other items that cost...

    New .32 caliber Blue Ridge

    The brown truck delivered my new Petersoli .32 caliber flintlock rifle this morning. For less than $500, I believe it to be a bargin. FYI The only thing that I've found so far that would cause one problems is the sorry flint that came with the gun...pitch it, don't even try to fool with it...

    Howdah handgun

    It's really neat to own a sawed-off pistol shotgun that is legal and a hoot to shoot. Love mine and it's a keeper. Also have the Kodiak in .72 caliber which is another keeper. Shoot and enjoy!

    .72 Cal Kodiak Double Rifle Loads?

    Good luck in finding a ready made round ball for the rifle. I too, have a .72 double rifle that I purchased from Cabela's and at the same time ordered the round balls they offered for the rifle. The balls are of poor quality. They are not even close to being round. So far I've not found any...

    The "OFF HAND" underhammer

    It was a warm 64 degrees in the Ozarks today and that brought out my .36 underhammer with the new sighting arrangement for a test run at my 30yd range. I ended up using a .350 Hornady ball with a .01 patch and 28 grains of 3F. After sighting the rifle in I shot about 7 rounds at a 1 1/2-inch...

    Numrich Action any good??

    Great gun for the money! If you happen to be or shoot left handed you will be a happy camper. They have not built any of the underhammer guns for a long time, however they can be found used. Probably the most common version was in .45 caliber. Do a search here and you will find even more...

    The "OFF HAND" underhammer

    Here's a photo of the underhammer with better sights. I replaced the front sight with a globe sight and the rear sight with a nice up/down left/right adjustable Beeman airgun sight.

    The "OFF HAND" underhammer

    Thanks for the great photo of the sight. I have a nos Beeman airgun peep sight that looks like it can be adapted without too much work. What I need to know is the screw size that the sight screws into on the action. The fill plug screw is too short for me to determine the threads per inch...

    The "OFF HAND" underhammer

    Papa I'm very interested in purchasing the peep sight. It would be very helpful for the sorry old eyes. Just let me know what you want and maling address.

    The "OFF HAND" underhammer

    Thanks for the photos of the peep sight. If I can not locate one I believe I'll just make one, as it doesn't look that hard. I have a Off Hand H&A rifle with a long barrel and without ramrod or provisions for same. Also have a H&A pistol and a target pistol and a target rifle(different...

    Underhammer bore keeps getting larger!

    It was such a pretty day I took the rifle out for a test drive with .57 balls. After about twelve shots with 70 and 90gr of double F it printed about 2-inches to the left and down about the same amount. Looks like I'll have to move the rear sight to the right and file the front sight and try...

    The "OFF HAND" underhammer

    Sure glad to know that at least two of these short .36 caliber rifles out there. I looked mine over real close and was pretty sure it hadn't been chopped down. I've seen a number of different H&A underhammers thatjust didn't fit perfectly with what adv. photos I've seen in the past. :thumbsup:

    Underhammer bore keeps getting larger!

    I have copies of the GUN DIGEST going back to the early 70's, and they show an H&A in 58 caliber which is very similar to mine. I believe that the ten guns were probably purchased from H&A without their markings in place and then engraved. That is the only difference between H&A guns of that...

    Underhammer bore keeps getting larger!

    About a month ago there were 10 nos engraved underhammer rifles sold on Gunbrokers, and I was luck to get the last one, numbered ten of ten. The adv. caliber was .50. Took it out to shoot today and when I started to load the .50 caliber round ball and patch just fell down the barrel. Since I...

    Saturday was good here in the Ozarks

    Another beautiful Saturday here in the Ozarks! Joined some other shooters down the creek at Ozark57 range and got to shoot my double 12. I loaded 1-0z shot with same volume of FFG black and the first two shots broke one clay bird with each bang. I knew that was a good place to stop and try a...

    The "OFF HAND" underhammer

    Joined some shooters at Ozark57 this after noon and shot my .36 caliber underhammer.. I was using .350 round balls and they were really tight and some what hard to load. I didn't have any thiner patch material to use. It seemed to be doing just fine in sending the lead down range. Will try a...

    24-lb flintlock id?

    Mike that's the information I'm looking for. Will try and learn more about the builder as your time table will help in that respect. Also thanks to all that have added their input. I had planned on shoot the gun before December, however I'm running out of time and will be house bound for a...
