Black Powder and Acc.
This was my first Underhammer.
It started out as a 1 wide frame, with a plain looking stock.
I narrowed the receiver to 7/8, and the wood. More figure showed up in the stock, and the receiver is daintier and well balanced.
With the 50 cal x 27 1-30 twist, this should make a dandy Mountain Rifle for elk at 7#s.
One inch wide receiver, 27Green Mountain barrel, 54 cal. with a 1-72 twist and a birds eye maple stock.
Home made action, using Hopkins & Allen, hammer and trigger assembly, with my interchangeable barrel system.
.62 Carbine
1 62 cal. with 25 barrel.
62 cal. with peep sight rail attached, always
staying sighted in.
Shown with Merit adjustable disc sight.
73 cal. Mountain Rifle
New receiver for 1 1/8 barrels.
With Orion 73 cal. barrel, total weight is 8#s
Front grip is brass tubing.
New maple stock, with 2 ½s of drop, is 2 wide, using a Early Lancaster butt plate and LMF Lancaster Stain.
The muzzle has a brass covered Voo-Doo sight and a ½ thimble with a sling mount.

Tritium Globe Front Sight
Another one of my creations, it uses a Tritium sight pin for bow sights.
It glows in the dark for ten years or more, no batteries, just some radioactive stuff!
You can see it just below the top of the pin.
This one uses the round threaded pin that screws in form the bottom and is locked in by two setscrews.
I also have another model that uses a T
shaped tritium pin. Looks about the same.
