Retired but not tired

[Gasser]

I’ve always been creative in making things or fixing broken ones . Took up the hobby of making black powder rifles years ago and currently making another now. Like to learn new things from other people so this site looks great.

Thanks everyone for the kind invite. Presently working on my third 50 cal underhammer. Finishing butt this week and cut out fore arm later. Using green mtn 1:28 twist on home made machined breech. Make stocks from slabs of local walnut trees. Self made 3d stock duplicator for underhammers and sold semi finished blanks to guy in Washington. Presently looking for trigger and hammer to complete my project. Will add pics when more familiar with site.

I am glad to hear we have another underhammer guy here! You will find a this site a valuable source of information and some misinformation!!!

Welcome, Sir!
As a late starter in this muzzleloader activity, this site was indispensable for my education and stimulation.

Gasser,
If you are using H&A type actions contact Deer Creek in Waldron Indiana, they vary the hammer, triggers and springs as well as actions and complete pistols and rifles.

I gave them a ring. Wanted tobsell entire action. I just need trigger now and may make one. Had local machinist make actions. Made about 50 for some else who backed out of deal. Don’t know what happened to actions ad i moved. Thanks for the heads up. I make my own stocks. Made a duplicator and copied a roughed out stock. Finished butt stock today. Make forearm later.
