Re: Under lever project
Wow! That the best firearm you have built. Yeah .490" balls with about a .015 patch might work the best. As usual a great project with great results. Way to go!
I still like the one that uses the shotgun slug!

No signs of pressure anywhere that i can see .
First load was 50 grains of FFF, rest were 40 .

A drill drills over size so the bore is over size for a 490 ball.

God given gift of tinkering, not great at it compared to some but enough to get er done.
Thanks bro it`s a pleasure to know you too and thanks for the kind words.
Gotta go round up a chunk of wood tomorrow for the stock.
Fitting that is going to be a nightmare, also the trigger spring will be in the stock pushing down on the trigger.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement.

Re: Under lever project
Not very good pictures raining outside.
Just got the wood done, it`s Elm or Ash, got it at FleetFarm.
I`m really bad at this fitting a stock to a gun and this thing had a lot of curves so i think i`ll call it a underhammer Remlin
Only have one case made up for it so can`t reload several right now.
Next is to test fire again and see if it hits anywhere close to POA.

I shot it twice off hand at about 15 yards, no sights, the latch that holds the cover shut will be the rear sight.
Hit dead on and about a inch apart
The first load was 30 grains of FFF, the second shot was 35 and the top popped open.
Gotta make something that blocks the latch forward so that can`t happen.
Kinda a novelty gun.

Re: Under lever project
Not much to see pard, with only 30 grains of FFF the ball is half way down the tube.
Powder, patch, ball and a bunch of bore butter is the load.
Next time i load one up i`ll get a picture, true oil is drying now and i gotta make a latch that holds the latch shut if that makes sense.
