No Answers shoots an underhammer

[No Answers]

Years ago I built a 50 caliber Hopkins & Allen underhammer rifle from a kit, which replaced the Hawkins I had. I have satisfaction that I finished it from an "in the white kit", and It's fun to shoot something that is unique.

Thats great, welcome. I have a H&A kit i have been working on since last year. I have 2 barrels for it & both in .40, I can change out quickly. One barrel has a 13/16" with a 1:48 twist, my other has a 1:24 twist for conical.

Wow, that is a large bore. Do you hunt with it?

I feel that after building it, my rifle is really mine.

Not yet, I got it only recently, happened into my local Gun shop and they didn't know what to do with it so I got it cheap. I plan on firing it tomorrow.

Hi - my third muzzloading build was a Numrich 'Pennsylvania Half Stock' Kit 45 cal - I made a lot of changes but barrel/lock/stock and trigger guard were as supplied in the kit - it shot like a charm and I did a lot of shooting with it. The guy that talked me out of it is still enjoying it. I do have an underhammer 45 cal but it is a NZ barrel and a home-made action (don't know who made it) shoots a 450gr slug I'm still trying to work up a load for it. My other understriker is a 32 pistol by Elmer Johnson of Mattawa Washington - it shoots really well and I've won several Medals with it
