Under Hammer Percusion Rifle

[GeoffC]

I'm not sure if anyone in here has ever seen one, but use to there was a man in Arkansas making nice under hammer rifles. Does anyone out there know if these are still available anywhere? I'd just love to find one of the ones that the guy was making back in the late 80s and 90s here in Arkansas.

I have a nice Hopkin and Allen, .58 cal, with a brass Dixie Gunworks scope.

One of the small shop made guns is really what Im looking for. The H&A's are nice, just not exactly the same rifle.

Have you checked out the The Underhammer Society? http://underhammers.blogspot.com/ The site is run by Roger Renner who started Pacific Rifle Company which makes very nice large bore underhammers. Roger probably knows the name of the gunsmith you are thinking about.

There's also the Pacific Rifle Company Blogspot and an underhammer maker in Virgina named Grey Haven Arms:
