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.
You are correct. They are traditionalSince I'm a lefty, my first impression of the underhammer muzzleloader oddity was actually fascinating. From what little I know, I find noreason to exclude them from the traditional muzzleloader community.
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.Since I'm a lefty, my first impression of the underhammer muzzleloader oddity was actually fascinating.

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!
Sounds like more inletting, cost more, hell, they both break when you fall on them LOLThe Allen underhammer from Pecatonica has tangs for the stock and internal hammer spring.

Do you shoot any conicals from your UH's or just shoot rb's ?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
I be right wid cha, i am hoping my kit will get here early next week. The Pecatonica shop is about 250 miles North of me.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.
