I bought a kit off Blue Grouse a few years ago however I would recommend you check Pecatonica River Long Rifle Supply, Inc. (http://www.longrifles-pr.com/underhammer.shtml). You will have better luck and more options there.

Sorry, I haven't checked this site for a few days. Here is one photo taken before I cut 5 inches off of the barrel. I am still working on it, but it does not look much different. Have been polishing, mostly.

I bought these parts as a "kit" from Tip curtis. He asked what caliber, how long a barrel, what kind of wood, and as I told him, placed the parts in the box. I saw the curly ash stock lying on the counter and said that I wanted this one. I since decided to shorten the barrel to gain some sembalance of balance and reduce the weight a little. My shortening was not to my liking, so a gunsmith has it now, crowning the barrel. Other than that, it has been a very simple build as most of the work is done; the action is all assembled, wood requires minor fitting, the barrel screws to the action/breechplug, cut the sight and thimble dovetails, polish and brown or blue. There are no barrel pins to drill, no action to inlet, no trigger to fit, etc. If you want light, however, get a tapered barrel (or shotgun barrel).
