This has been in the works for quite some time, but looks like we're nearing completion. It will be a 2-barrel set; 500NE and 450-400NE. The blank is a $4,000 blank I bought on sale for half price from Luxus back when Adam and Clay were running it. The action is deep-relief engraved with gilded accents. I'll have a case made for it to hold the stock, both barrel sets, oil cruet,snap caps and cleaning rod, just like the old days. Should be stunning!

Wow! Biebs, thats really neat. Can you post a close up of the high relief engraving?

Well, actually of everything. I guess you'll probably have to wait until the rifle's done and in your hands.

Yes, don't have it yet. The 450-00 barrels need to be blued and the forend is getting a few more costs of oil.

Yes, it drops the block downwards to open the bores.

Actually, I was a Daisy pump kid myself!

RR was too noisy (BBs rolling in magazine) and puny shooter by comparison to pump.

Simply rifle perfection!


If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

Bill, this is the original, but 2nd generation, of the traditional falling block.

The 450-400 barrel set is now regulated. Now for polish and rust blue, and we're done!

That's one of the most interesting actions I ever seen. Does it lift the strength to something approaching a bolt action?

Bailey calls it the Rising block action as opposed to the more common falling block (his first .22 Hornet? Damascas double was a falling block double)

The force to open the gun is not much different than a falling block. You’re not so much making the barrels rise as you’re making the back half of the rifle fall. The leverage is shared.
