Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Underhammer Buggy Rifle in progress

Lest I forget where I got the barrel:

Ok, I'll bite. What is that crown over C mark? Always thought I would like to have a little underhammer rifle.

I used an 8mm Swedish rolling block barrel.

Chamber so obsolete, its hard to reload for.

And many were cavernously chambered, that you may only get a few reloads before the brass split.

But the barrel was pristine, with deep rifling, that I had to do something with it.

Fits a 32 cal maxiball like it was made for it. We'll see if the uber fast twist will handle it OK (12 twist)

A 5/8-18 tap, a Tennessee Lollipop tang/breech plug, a Billinghurst underhammer action, some scrap steel, a welder, and a bunch of files and some other miscellaneous items.

Huzzah!

That's gonna be neat! Keep us updated.
