    John Meunier schuetzen restoration project

    I have sent it to Bruce to get the stock repaired. The false muzzle does have a recess for the patch About 7/8 diameter. I don’t know exactly what the twist rate is, but it is faster than a round ball gun. The bore is .420 . I happen to have a picket mold that is .410 at the base that I will try...

    Gorning underhammer

    That is the way to do it. I have had many students that were afraid to start for fear of making a mistake. It keeps them from attempting anything. Consider it a prototype as you say of it works great if not you just learned what not to do. Keep us apprised of your progress.

    Gorning underhammer

    That is a very good little book. It would definitely get a person started building some under hammers with very little equipment. attached are some pictures of some other under hammer books that anyone that likes them should have. And of course, the nude Roberts book on muzzleloading rifle.

    Yeah, I kind of copied Niedner’s stock shape on the one that I built. It is pictured in the Ned Roberts book on the muzzleloading rifle.

    I will contact them. I could stick it back together but that’s not my experience. I’d like somebody that’s done it before. Thank you for the lead.

    Gorning underhammer

    It shot very well. I put the double set triggers on it. I had stocked it with a more modern pistol grip type stock. attached is a picture of the Gorning and the Woody actions very similar. I have access to a Water Jet. I was thinking about cutting out the parts for one of these to use in a class.

    John Meunier schuetzen restoration project

    I recently picked up this rifle. The broken stock was held together with a nail and some duct tape. I clean the duct tape off and remove the nail and disassembled it as you can see in the pictures. It has an excellent bore and the false muzzle is still on It. It is a 42 caliber bore and made for...

I also have a DH Hillard that I made mold off of. and built a couple one for me and one for my brother. Also have a kind of Hopkins and allan that I made mold off...

    Here is one of the underhammers that I have parts for. I have some extra flat annealed Main springs that might work for yours. I could send you a couple if you’d like.

    Gorning underhammer

    About 30 years ago I built one then foolishly traded it off. It worked really well, but I was in the AMM then and interested in more traditional rifles. I have come back to building some under hammers and really enjoy them. I have done a couple of classes at the technical College where are used...

    Yes, Ron was a good guy and a great craftsman and competitor. I shot with him in the BPCR matches. If you decide to sell any of the castings I would be interested, or if you need help putting it together I could help.
