First, let me welcome you to the Forum.
You honor us by taking the time to join and participate.

To answer your question about Underhammer locks, first let me say that although there were a few companies making guns with this style of lock about 20 years ago, most have gone out of business. Those remaining, no longer produce underhammer guns.

To my knowledge, there are no companies making guns with underhammer locks. A good gunsmith can create one, but it would be a custom item.

Note that I said "guns with underhammer locks" and not just locks.
This is because the reciever or frame of the gun is part of the lock for most underhammer designs.

The underhammer lock has just 2 moving parts. The hammer and the trigger.
The hammer piviots on a pin thru the reciever and has the sear notches machined into it.
The trigger has the sear machined into the forward end of it.
The Triggerguard serves the purpose of being the mainspring.

If you look at my sketch, I think you can see how these parts relate to one another:

This sketch is somewhat crude and there are several designs which have been used over the years. This sketch just shows the basic idea.
I hope this helps answer your question.

Hey Listone,
Muzzleloaders Builders Supply has a kit in their catalog. I don't know if it shows up on their website or not, but it's worth a try. www.muzzleloaderbuilderssupply.com

Hello Listone!
Of course you can find a lot of very high-quality pistols and rifles with underhammer-system in Europe. Start with Dedinski in Germany that produce very nice weapons and a little bit cheaper compared to Baumkircher:s Billinghurst produced in Switzerland.
Dedinskis adress: www.dedinski.com. ::

On[url] auctionarms.com[/url] under the blackpowder category is a guy that sells underhammers. I think he has kits and finished rifles. Try to find his products and contact him.

[email protected] This e-mail address will take you to Blue Grouse Muzzleloaders In Washington State. He make underhammers. Don't know anything about his quality, but you might check him out. You will need to copy and paste the address as for some reason it isn't coming up as a link.

Now how did I know I would be proven wrong when I said no one is currently making underhammer locks?

As has been said before, There sure is a wealth of knowledge here!

Feinwerkbau also produces a nice underhammer:

Their site: English Version

It is cheaper, as it is a serial production. The indirect trigger is a dream, but the grip was too thin for me - try it out first. I settled on a Dedinski Hale because the grip setup allows custom grips with about any variation.

Here is yet another link. I've emailed him and he answers very quickly.

I've not personally seen any of his weapons. It is called Blue grouse black powder.

I just realized the guy on auctionarms is the same as Blue Grouse. Just to safe yourself trying to find him.

Listone, are you intressed in a rifle or a pistol or maybe both? Is Taiwan corresponding member to MLAIC (International organisation for target-shooting with ML)?
