58 cal, 1-90 twist. Alexander Henry style rifling.

Made to shoot hard round balls fast!



Not your typical underhammer, a slide underhammer.

Fashioned after the Carleton pistol.

Some unusual for sure, not only the rifle in todays ML's. The slide-Hammer action, is really unusual. Coil Spring like plunger ? Similar to T/C Firehawk ?

Yes, there is a coil spring.

I am now working on a half cock.

In my large frame, the last two that I made have spring plungers for tension on the triggers. No funky bent spring wire.

That's something you don't see everyday, thanks for the pix!

Found a better picture of my 1-30 twist 50 cal.

The wood is from my very first gun.

The receiver has gone thru several changes.

Originally it was 1" wide, now it is 7/8".

Much nicer balance and carry!

You n several other just keep showing all of these nice Under-Hammer models. I am slowly succumbing to the eye candy. I have the one i am working on with 2 .40 cal barrels. I will change them out. If 'all keep posting pic's i will start another parts build when this one is done. Maybe a .45 to shoot sabot bullet combo.

I found this picture dated 1845, interesting.

They are neat, is that where you got the idea for a slide trigger ignition ?

Yes

The 7 bore shoots a 1000 grain ball at 1100 fps.
This is what happens when shooting trees,

The top picture shows the back of the ball [round center] and how it flowed around to the back.

7 bore, made from stainless tubing.
The stock is walnut laminated to an aluminum center.

H&A hammer and trigger.

7 bore, nice sized ball. Shoulder bump wake you up quickly ?

With 175FF it is just a slow long push, no big thump.

Will have to watch sales/auctions. Or kit a kit from Pecatonica River ML Supply.

Uuuh....I'll just take your word for it, if I may.

The position of the sun affects the sight picture. [ my best guess]
A two shot test on different days.
I can tell you that it shoots length ways thru a deer at 25-30 yards.

Now about recoil, add a bunch more powder, and it will nock your glasses off!!!

And I have done some choke work to it, not sure how that will affect round ball shooting.

At 30 yards.
