Very Kool! Old iron is always a pleasure! Especially when it shoots that good.
50 ydsExcellent grouping. How far?

I found the problem that is causing the debris. The frame around the nipple is not touching the bottom of the barrel like it should. There is a small gap that is allowing debris to come out. I made a small flash guard that should work. I will post pictures laterWell Done, looks like it's a shooter. Flash cups will protect the underside of the barrel but not stop debris from hitting your arm. Sounds more like you are getting blow back from an enlarged nipple blowing the cap off.
8 Bore, You said that some H/A underhammers use different nipples. Is the H/A referring to Hopkins/ Allen style? And what is the difference between the two types of nipples? I am new to the underhammer scene. Thank you so muchSome H/A style underhammers use a special nipple. Dont know if that would help. Log Cabin Shop sells them. In their #49 catalog on page 12 under specialty nipples.
How do I get the "Muzzle Blast" MagazineYes, what a coincidence. Nice article.

Good Day All,
I recently picked up a new addition to my collection and thought I would share it with you. . It is an 1850's Fremont NH John Brown Underhammer rifle. The seller says it is a .40 cal and is a very heavy rifle. I have not received it yet but I do have pictures. It is missing the front sight but the rear tang sight is still present. I hope to get this rifle back into firing condition so I can take to the gun club. I will post more pictures soon.
