Cherry Stocked Muzzle Loader

This is the beginnings of a .45 caliber, 1:28 twist, rifle project.

Some of these pictures would not fit into the cameras view so they are in pieces. Me standing on a chair to take pictures.

Here is what it looks like today.
Stock: Cherry
Barrel: Knight DISC remnant, purchased online from Green Mountain Barrels, internet specials. Needs tang.
Plug: 5/8-18 US thread, 6-line bolt.
Action: Underhammer, not done, full cock shown. Hammer spring not finished, spring needs trimming.








Right side of action panel.
Hammer and trigger. Trigger was cut out straight, hammered to make it wider, curled over vise screw.
None of these pieces are finished, just roughed out. Trigger spring visible.

















Barrel came with a broken tap piece which was removed. I think this barrel is stainless steel, not sure.
