Ron Long of "Long Locks" built me a three barrel (interchangeable) underhammer years ago, (.40 cal., .58 cal. and a 20 gauge shotgun) won some major matches that year with this gun. Then Ron built several more, we controlled the mid western states matches until they made a special class for underhammers. And outlawed them for several of the national matches, we were told to shoot your own matches.

Just like a lot of idiots. If you beat them they will outlaw your gun. Underhammers have been arould as long as side hammer guns. Some of these people that run these shoots are really STUPID and mostly ignorent about muzzle loaders. And a lot of them are at FRIENDSHIP

Since I'm a lefty, my first impression of the underhammer muzzleloader oddity was actually fascinating. From what little I know, I find no reason to exclude them from the traditional muzzleloader community.

You are correct. They are traditional

I have always loved underhammars, have owned - bought - traded and sold these guns for years. An old friend Ron Long got me started with them years ago.

Read this story and look at his quality of arms: https://underhammers.blogspot.com/
R.J. Renner (Roger) is a talent building of the best quality available.

Marty, it is difficult for a south paw to find a muzzle loader for the lefty and then a mighty hefty price. I agree, under hammer is a good choice and should be allowed as traditional.

We allow Underhammers in our the postal matches, just in-lines are not able to shoot the match. The underhammars have never been disallowed so what's the problem?

I'm building my second UH with a orig H&A Numrich OEM 50 cal barrel. Pecatonica fitting it to their H&A action, Doug does great work. This will make 4 UHs I have. I'll never be as tough as the old mountain men so all I want to do is hunt with mine not live like one. I think UHs are the best choice ( for me anyway) I'm looking at a .62 SB switch for this project also. The key to staying young is staying busy!

The Allen underhammer from Pecatonica has tangs for the stock and internal hammer spring.

Can you please message me. I recently acquired several sets of underhammer castings from a friend, he got them from Ron Long. I'm going to attempt to figure them out but I have no information other than the castings. My friend that I got them from only saw one of the rifles put together by Ron back in the early 80s. Hoping to ask some questions or get ahold of some pictures.
Thanks

Comments like yours and Rhinos is sure to cost me money. I'll be inspired to do another one especially with my trapping season gone to poop this year. Thanx to you all for your favorable comments. Out

Do you shoot any conicals from your UH's or just shoot rb's ?

 

[MrTom]

That is one sweet looking rifle, Trader. Nice work!

On my second H&A under hammer since the 70's, both .45's. Like many popular M/L's, they're not a repo of anything, but suit my needs. Interesting to hear folks bash non reproductions who see no problem with coil springs and obviously modern sights, etc. One good thing about the H&A's is fast, reliable ignition.

Daresay if they went into production with the many options available over the years, I, for one, would load up this time. Buggy rifle, extra barrels etc...Yup.

Congrats on building a very nice rifle.
