value of numrich hopkins & allen underhammer smooth bore.

[troy fairweather]

I was thinking of selling my numrich hopkins and allen underhammer smooth bore. the bore comes out as 15ga. it's in good shape wood is nie and has the forearm. single front bead sight. patterns good with the 2.3/4 dram load of #6 shot. i believe the barrel is 30'' have to check put a new nipple on last year, bore is in very good shape with no pitting. i will have to get a photo of it tomorrow.

I have seen very few smooth bore H&A unders so i figured to ask here. thanks.troy.

Well you might start out with the action value and the new stock. They are available from Pecatonica River, so perhaps look at the parts list and go from there. http://www.longrifles-pr.com/underhammer.shtml

i think if i could get 200 to 250 for it id be happy, they show 150 for the action and 125 for stock.

You sure it's not a 16 gauge that's choked ?? 15 gauge is so...odd....(no pun intended).

it could be i have no way to measure down the bore more the 1''. when i measured the bore and looked at the gauge list it was perfect 15ga and i have 15 ga wads the fit nice.

thanks...just reread my post, I should've written "12 gauge that's choked".....( need to get a face-palm emoji)

Yeah if it's a perfect 15 ga. diameter, that's pretty cool.

it's a nice super light gun, does not kick hard. i have not shot it much but it is nice to carry around the woods. if i keep it i will pattern it and work on a small game load and a turkey load. if i can find a rifled barrel they are supposed to be very accurate. i have to look up what breach plug it uses and maybe get green mountain blank in 45 or even 32/36.
