Hello everyone- I've been off this forum for awhile. Life has been busy and losing my mentor (Tinker2 or William Alexander) kind of got me out of builds for awhile. But the last few months I had the bug again and finished an underhammer. I've built this less to be Historically correct and more for utility for me. That being said I tried to keep most of the build appropriate for the late 1800's.
.54 Cal green mountain barrel (36"), underhammer action. Spalted maple wood and underrib I carved myself. Finised with aqua fortis, dragons blood stain and boiled linseed oil. Ebony tip. This was the first time I ever browned a rifle as I usually slow rust blue. But now I am seeing why browning is so popular. I'm already off to start the next project- a 16th century
