What model buttstock is that ? I being left handed would not get the cheek rest
Out of the Pecatonica catalog. Just ask for cheekpiece delete or grab the hoof rasp LOLWhat model buttstock is that ? I being left handed would not get the cheek rest
Doug's crew takes care of me. Now to find the recipe for how-to staining or I'll leave it "blondie"That's sure some nicely grained wood Trader.
It just jumps out at you looking at it. Sweet ! Does that forend have 2 holes drilled in it ? You using 2 barrel lugs ?Before and after pics. Auquafortis treatment. Minwax wipe on poly finish.
Ok he drilled n tapped two screws into bbl flat to hold forarm on ? How far does the ramrod hang over ? I am curious n all ways done with these Underhammers is most interesting. I have 1 bbl lug n 2 thimbles i was going to use with mine.The gunsmith didn't use barrel lugs. He drilled straight through the bottom flat of the barrel.
Ok i see them, you have them pinned ? I have saw many of the older models that were pinned. Most likely was easier to install the forarm also not in the way of ramrodIf you look closely you can see the holes in this picture.
Not only a neat but is very simple n more frugal way of doing it. If i was only going to have the one barrel i also would do that.You’re correct. The forearm is pinned to the barrel not an under lug. The holes go all the way through the barrel. Leaves no interference with the ramrod channel. The holes are just enough into the barrel to hold, probably just about as deep as a dovetail cut would be. Kinda a neat way of doing it.
Good enough for me! I'll pursue this treatment once I get the fore stock done and I certainly thank you for your time in posting pics and great advice. Snowing sideways here, barely see the neighbor's across the street. Good day to make it out to my shop and get the woodstove fired up. Made sure the wife made it to work (20 mi) you know, priorities. Next I've got to finish deboning and fleshing out 4 elk feet to use as gun racks, my first attempt at that project. More work than the UH. Why do I do this to myself ? DunnoBefore and after pics.

Trader like many of us, we all like to piddle around doing this n that. Plus its better than staring at the wall.Good enough for me!

Glad it has arrived. My my that action is very nicely engraved. That is a real nice U-H , yes appears to be a target rifle like you said. Someone really did some work on the barrel bullet drop- muzzle alignment with the 3 pins. You have a Underhammer that be hard to find.Well after 6 1/2 days without mail I finally got a look at the UH I bought online a couple back. Absolutely NO markings on any surface that I can find. Mystery UH design so far. 32" X 1-1/16 54 cal bbl. Looks like it might have been D&T for one of the Leatherwood type period correct scopes ?? Nice false muzzle and buttstock. Fore stock looks like maybe a sandbag benchrest type ? Anyone venture a guess as to origin, purpose or value ? Perfect, shiny bore, very light trigger BTW
Look up Billinghurst underhammer rifle. I think it may be one of his designs? I saw a picture showing the false muzzle and the attached tube sight. Cool rifle you've acquired.Well after 6 1/2 days without mail I finally got a look at the UH I bought online a couple back. Absolutely NO markings on any surface that I can find.
