A very interesting underhammer design. I read about a gunmaker who made bore caliber underhammers which used two percussion caps to ignite the large charges some time ago but can't think of the name at the moment. I shall look forward to the entry about the other 2 bore rifle that you're tempting us with, ha ha! Hope the gentleman in question also makes other guns that he sends you details of. Thanks in advance and good hunting! Steve,
