Underhammer Build - Status Report #4
The build progresses!
Striker is fabricated and looks good.
Main cut-out of breech block completed.
The vision is becoming clearer. Here's how it should look with a thirty-two inch 1" octagon barrel.

But hey, its a prototype. Improvements can always be added later. I think it has some nice lines. A very sleek profile.
While typing this and looking at the cut out I got another inspiration. This is getting back to the idea of a 209 ignition system. Instead of having the gap between the nipple and striker, one could utilize a system similar to the Genesis rifle but have the firing pin swing out from underneath rather than on top...hmmmmmmmmm That would seal off the entire area and make the rifle virtually weatherproof?!?!
Dang - I see an entire line of rifles coming out now. I can see it now. Semisane, CEO; Cayugad, Production Manager; Bronko, Quality Manager;, Muley, Janitor......hehehehe Oh yeah, we definately have to have Lemoyne as Sales Manager.

Guys, I just realized I've been incorrectly calling it an "underhammer". It's not an underhammer. It's a striker fired gun in the "underhammer style". Somebody shoulda` said something.

You need to fabricate a pump style cleaning system for the barrel, unless cleaning will involve a complete dis-assembly every time.

That is why I cut and add a jag to all of my gun rods like this...
