UnderHammer

So there it sits...waiting for some iron on the butt. And brown on the barrel, tenons too. Maybe a nipple guard....the hammer casting is a little canted. Rod pipes...sights...nipple. Whew.

I have the brass flash guard, I took them off. I had bad time tring to get the perc. cap pushed on nipples after I have to pinch them to stay on. Think my nipples are abit small. I took a soda can & cut a sq. from it & drilled a hole for nipple threads to go through. Think I need to find a better & thicker ga the soda can aluminum is too thin.

I have furthered the cause....found an actual H&A barrel in 50 complete. Pin style tho' it did mount.

Some progress... staked in tenon's on the 54 barrel and the forearm is actually pinned on. Also worked the iron nitrate back on the wood. Lighter shows more figure.

I done collected some barrels. Found an original HA in 50....a green mountain 50 oct. to round slow twist and a cva 45 rescue. Also got a block o maple to match the stock. The 45 cva may go back to the original rifle as it might be worth restoring. That's another project.....
