H&A underhammer

[twotoescharlie]

I have a 36 cal that I have used for a long time.
just was wonderin' if there was anything out of the ordinary to remove the breech plug. never had it out but don't want to mess anything up by removing it the wrong way.

Why would you want to do that?

:grin: From what I am hearing is that Deer Ceek is no longer going to supply H&A Underhammer Kits. I guess mine will start being worth a lot more than Ipaid for it. :hatsoff:

I also have a 36 cal. underhammer and agree with Silver Fox do not remove it unless you have to. I removed mine to push out a broken ram rod.
If you wish I can give you instructions. The breech plug is a standard thread, clockwise to tighten but will require a complete break down of the rifle and some shop tools. So let me know.

To clear this up "they" ALL H+As uhs will be made again, just dont try to get one or the barrels for a few months. Im makeing a good guess at Spring April/May, the rest of the Rifleing mch has to be packed and shipped and set up, Sorry dont think they will get rare anytime soon or I would of bought up a few. :grin: :thumbsup: Fred

Like the old saying goes: If it ain't frinkled up, don't frinkle with it.

ain't gonna do it!! have been shootin' M/L for 45-50 year. have unbreached my share but never did a underhammer. was just curious if it was any different than a flint or bolster breach plug.
I might add, I built my first M/L (kentucky) in 1963. parts were not as available as they are now.
took nearly 2 years to complete as I had to feel my way along as I went. ( dixie gun works catalog was just a few pages and some parts had several months waiting list).

You might want to contact Bruce at Blue grouse black powder. He has a link to his forum. He knows how to remove the breach plug and it didn't sound to difficult if I recall. He will even take phone calls and speak with you.

How much was the barrel? the plug like they said , its is just like a 5/8th bolt. your 36 is it a pinned barrel Everyonr told me not to pull my barrel Ive got a factory 48"er still is super tight fit Id hate to mess it up. :hatsoff:

You said it very nicely, because if you start "frinkling" around with something that works, it probably would just get all "frinkled up". And that would really be a "frinklin" shame!

Hey Fred, I think Bruce will convert most 15/16" barrels for the underhammer. I think he replaces the breach plug with one that fits and drills and taps a nipple hole. So if you got a 15/16" laying around on a beater gun you might give him a call.
