Umderhammers... anyone have one and shoot it?
Just curious... do any of you fellow BP shooters have an underhammer rifle? I remember when I was a kid in high school there were only a few fellas I knew that were muzzleloading enthusiasts.... I can't remember all of their rifles they showed me, but I remember that each of them owned at least one Hopkins & Allen underhammer rifle.
Any of you fellas have one of these and shoot it?

I don't have one at present. Which is strange because I've always been a fan. I do have a rusted up H&A action somewhere out in the garage that I've always intended to turn into a gun. Just never seem to get around to it.
Most people consider the H&A underhammer an ugly gun. To me they are a thing of beauty and simplicity.

that is the place I looked into when I was thinking of getting one. But I had too many rifles I purchased that year and talked myself out of it.

I'm not looking to buy one. I was just curious if any of you have one and shoot it. The Hopkin's and Allen rifles were fairly common around my area when I was a young man, any gun shop that carried muzzleloaders usually had some on their racks. Probably because they were made about 3 hours east of where I live. If I were to run across a good clean one nowadays and the price was right, I might.
I spoke with the man from Blue Grouse some years back and if I were going to buy an underhammer, it wouldn't be from him. I didn't care for the attitude he gave me over the phone. When I started questioning him about his rifles, it was like "If you wanna buy a rifle I'll talk to you, otherwise I'm too busy.
