Let's try this again, updated.

OK, the first post seems to have disappeared and won't come back. Bummer.

Here is an example of one of my first underhammer builds (third, actually). That target is my first shot. This one has a .50 cal steel Green Mountain rifled barrel of 1:28 twist. The stand came later when I realized that loading this pistol on the bench would not be easy.

The lock is crude but it works. The trigger has a "hat" that is supposed to rub on the hammer spring. This rubbing forces the trigger forward and into a locking position.

The action gets mounted to the barrel block. Action is housed in a piece of 3/8 inch key stock.  A top strap was inlet to the barrel block and then all parts get mounted.

Picture shows all parts together but has no finish on the Walnut.





A clip of how it works.
