Is Numrich Arms still making guns?,

 

[2 shots]

no , i think when george passed that was the end of it.

First. Yes the fore arm is pinned to the stock. Second, contact Deer Creek Products in Indiana he sells parts kits and whole rifles & pistols.

Is the forearm on the Heritage held on with pins also, or am I missing some little trick?

It's held on with a brass pin.

I have an H&A .45 underhammer, but have not shot it yet due to several issues with it. With that being said, I read up on them quite a bit when I first got it.
I have it in my notes that they are almost a .440 caliber rather than a .45, and that it's best to start with a .433 RB and a thinner patch?
Sounds like sheriff john has no issues using a .440 RB though. Just wanted to bring up that some have said a .433 RB works pretty well in them.

I have this rifle in .44. Never seen a .45 in this model

I've had two. The first was a "Heritage", which I have now traded off after an issue with the nipple stripping threads and a cracked stock. It was from the original offering - late 60's/early 70's. The one I have now is from the company that revived the gun. Although a bit crude, the peep sight with the "circle" hooded front sight worked quite well on round bullseye targets b/c all you have to do is place the circle around the bullseye and squeeze the trigger. It works.

Our local club match rules changed ...no hooded sights. Switched to open sights only. Rats.

I have started my kit build for my Underhammer. Its the newer model with 3 set screws to hold the barrel in place. I got a barrel lug with mine to fasten the Forearm to barrel. I have the flash cap to protect the wood where the nipple is installed

Let us know how it goes. I’ve wanted to get a kit for a long time

I don't think they have them anymore. None on their site.
