Here are a couple pictures of my two underhammers, the one with the brass frame was made by John Taylor, he does very nice work. The other one is a heavyweight, 28 lbs.

Is there anyone still making a good quality underhammer rifle?
I would be interested in a .58 cal or maybe a .54.

I believe deer creek is still selling actions, 765-525-6181. I can build one but I'm backed up about 6 months. If money is no problem, contact Roger Renner 775-453-9355 http://underhammers.blogspot.com/

Actions are available from Muzzle Loader Builder Supply :http://muzzleloaderbuilderssupply.co...ct=Underhammer

not exactly a kit but depending on your skill or desire something to think about.
Careful though as that action does not have a Half Cock notch.

Mark at Fire&Iron has been pretty good to converse with also. Has a couple stock actions. 8)

I have built a few of these actions and found out later that there is some controversy about the ownership of the molds. Seems the man who made the molds contends they were stolen from him. Seems he was having the castings made up by a company that went out of business and when he went to retrieve his molds he found out they had been sold. Got the information here http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fu.../fusionbb.php?

The action is more for a bench gun with a large diameter barrel. I cut the upper tang and lowered it for a smaller barrel on one. I found that it would be just as easy to build this type of action from scratch if you have the proper tools. With the tang lower and the top of the action octagon it got down to a manageable size
