Underhammer Kit Ordered

[Razor62]

Thank you very much my friend.

That is some amazing wood on this underhammer Razor.

I have always thought it a sad day when wood was replaced with plastic. Everything is plastic now.

Razor, I followed your posts as you built that beauty. I was ever so close to starting a similar build using your project as inspiration but chickened out Too many other irons in the fire at the time. Fine weapon for sure!

Very beatiful,did you do your own checkering. I have the same build ,but had the barrel built by Dave at the gun works,4140 ..451. 18 twist. I was inspired by 45-70 one he did. Beautiful both of these.

Beautiful furniture on that piece for sure!! I'm a wood kinda guy and haven't seen an attractive plastic stock yet!!
Nicely done sir.

Should make for a good build. I'm pretty much smitten with underhammers right now. Just gotta figure out how to build a flintlock one.

Hey WyomingWhiteTail, have a look at this one!

Be a fine looking rock sparker. I wonder how well it really did in it's time, unique !

I don't know smokepolehall! I have wondered what keeps the priming powder up there in the upside-down pan long enough to ignite it.

I know you turn it upside down pour pan n close it. I bet it does work i just don't know how fast the Lock is to hit Frizzen n light it up

Not quite an UH Flinter.. but here are a couple of my Home Builds.. The H&A Clone has no pins through the receiver..
The Brass frame started in my Buds shop. He thought it was botch and threw it to me saying "what can do with that?"

I agree, both very unique pieces, Metalshaper03. I admire your ingenuity, my hat is off to you, sir!

I got part of my kit in, yeah the part i ordered I have cleaned up the forearm, sanded it nicely including the ramrod channel. I also got the buttstock sanded n fit on the action into it. Rest of the buttstock is still in need of being sanded. Most likely take me all weekend n next week to get it like i want fitted with butt plate

 

[smokepolehall]

I made 2 pic's of my kit this morning, will try to load them later this morning.

 

[smokepolehall]

I never got a chance, so i got several more pic's of the buttstock sanding work. Just have to get butt plate ground, get it inletted. Then its a matter of stain n sealer

 

[smokepolehall]

Well i have 2 coats of Pecan wood oil stain on the Forend. They are dried, will put several more coats on then put sealer on it. I got the buttplate tab hack sawed off. I will file the rest of tab down & sand it smooth. I have been sanding the action here n there. Still have to get rest of butt stock inletted so the butt plate will be nice. I have not had a chance to research the Hammer bending so it will be centered on the perc. cap/nipple.

 

[smokepolehall]

I got the butt plate tab ground off, then filed smooth n sanded n polished today. I hope to apply another coat of Pecan stain on Forend

 

[smokepolehall]

I had to re-sand Forearm, the moisture in this Bunker is real high, its burmed. It floods when it rains hard & i have to put the pump to work. So i got Forearm ready to stain, but will wait until its a warm sunny day. So i can let it dry outside.

 

[smokepolehall]

I have marked my Butt plate to make the final cut of metal clean it up n polish it . I am kind of doing this kit as a build in progress, i can redo, add things as i go along
