You might be right. I think I'll just stick with the original ones I had picked out. An adjustable rear and a fixed blade front.

Great. Oh one other thing about sights. Would you say yes or no to a front globe sight like this one along with a regular buckhorn or semi buckhorn rear sight.

Just curious. Are there any issues with it being setup that way?

Thanks. I had done some reading at Pacific Rifle company about their Zephyr so I was curious. Too bad they went out of business although it's not an under hammer I'd be able to afford anyway.

Hi all. I have a question and I hope I ask it correctly and that someone knows the answer. I'm thinking of building a Under Hammer from the kit by Pecatonica River. Does the nipple screw into the breach like on the Faeton breach plug design, picture attached, or into the barrel just ahead of the...

I've been looking at the kit from Pecatonica River. Total is going to be about $600 including shipping.

Prices, availability and also full description and pictures. I might be looking way to soon since I really can't buy until after the new year. I may even delete, if I can, my WANTED ad until then. It's just going to be toss up between buying a kit and trying to build one myself or buy one...

I'm sorry. I should have specified Under hammer RIFLE

I'm only looking for right now but I'd like to find a .54 cal percussion Under Hammer with a 32-36"X1" octagon barrel. PM me if you happen to have one.

I have a question. How do you prevent the threads both on the screws and screws holes from getting rusted up and damaging the threads?

Sounds good and I'll keep everything in mind. Right now just gathering info and hopefully after the new year be able to buy the kit from Pecotonia River. I'm in the process of trying to buy a home and I can't have any big expenses until it completed plus right now I have no place to build one...

Hi all. Hope you all had a good week-end. Here's link to a video of a guy with an under hammer and it sure looks like the one I want to build. Muzzle Loading Black Powder Underhammer Rifle 54 Cal. - Bing video

Oh really didn't know that about being able to swap barrels even if it has a tapered pin.

Oh do you happen to know what method Pecotonia River uses to secure the barrel to the action? I've read 2 method. 1 is with a tapered pin and the other is to use 3 set screws so that you can actually wrap out barrels.

Sorry I meant BLOCK of wood LOL

Thanks for the advice. May just do everything by hand. Square flock if wood and fine emery cloth. I know it might take longer but less chance of spewing it up

Sounds great. When the time comes I plan on using Laurel Mountain Barrel brown and degreaser. From what I've read that the best one to go with. Thanks again. Now just waiting to see if the house I've put an offer on goes through and if it does I'll have some place to do all the work

Morning. Just curious. Do you happen to know how much prep work will be needed on all the metal parts for the under hammer from Pectonica River before it's ready to be browned?

I think I'm just going to stay with my original plan and just get the complete kit from Pecatonica River with the full 36" Green Mountain barrel. Like you said I can always have it cut and re-crowned if I think it's to long.
