Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders so it began - the underhammer build

update time.

Got promoted at work - doing about 50+ hours each week.

Tutoring my daughter for school - took more time.

But I fit in some work on Saturday.

Thimbles and entry pipe are in. They are evenly spaced, even if the pics don't show it. The tip needs about an inch taken off, and then I need to place a foreend cap. The first pipe will be back about 3" from the finished end.


contoured the foreend. The tabs either side of the ramrod need to come down a little, and need to shave more off the sides, but I like it.


Here's the custom two piece entry. It's a speed bump with a thimble. going to round over the bottom edges of the forearm and then cut off and file the brass to fit the contour; then blend in the wood to match the foreend contouring.
