Are they still in business?

If you mean Soroka ( i.e. Glen Soroka ) in New Zealand who was promoting a falling block, single shot rifle, I believe the answer is no. I think he has been inactive for several years now.

Yes, that's it. Pity, would of liked to acquired one of his actions.

Those were some very nice rifles.

I am sorry to hear this. Great actions, superior to the Dakota 10 and the Hagn, both, IMHO.

Have a look at Steve Earle's falling block action. Sidelever, Fraser. It does not disappoint.

Different action, not a Farquarson. Does anybody know if any of these actions still remain either in Arizona or New Zealand?

The Saroka was not a Farquharson either other than from a distance.

Try Glen Morvitz, he put together quite a few of the Soroka actions/rifles in the early days.

Mayfair in London has been making some Gibbs pattern actions and I believe they made the PD pattern that Rigby just built a few rifles on.

Other than that, sourcing and rebuilding old actions is pretty much the only way to get a real Farquharson.

Thank you. Just looked and nothing on Mayfair website regarding single shot actions.

Mayfair had pictures on Instagram and Facebook of the action a while back.

Try Roger Green, he is the importer for Mayfair and I know he had a Farquharson action on order with them, if he has received it yet I do not know.

It’s too bad that the business failed. Glen made an outstanding rifle and was very passionate about it. Those who own one are lucky.

There are a couple for sale at william larkin & moore...

It seems to me that Glen Soroka is out of business. It is very sad as I think his Farq07 was a super action. I think selling just Farky actions might be viable business but who knows. There are still some alternatives anyway. Mark Mitchell (JOHN FARQUHARSON (GUN & RIFLE MAKER) LTD) from Scotland is crafting rifles based on Farky action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4yqMbLoDtQ
He also can build superb double rifles e.g. http://www.buehlercsa.com/a-ne...effery-double-rifle/
One additional tip would be Thomas Heuberg with his side lever falling block action rifle https://thomas-heuberg.de/en/blockbuechsen
