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.

That looks great!

Really nice - stunning wood

Now it is up to the man behind it ….

Morten

Beautiful.

Nice choices in calibers....the 450/400 for big game...the .500 for even bigger game..

When you get bored with it, I’ll take it off your hands
For commissioning such a beauty, I will forgive your past Blaser sins.

Beautiful rifle. Enjoy.

BB does good work.

Great wood and interesting action! Can I take it the lever works down, not sideways?

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

This beauty needs a photo shoot. More pics!

Finally, you now have a gun that other people are interested in.

Paul, haven't you always admired my Red Rider?

Red Rider?

Actually, I was a Daisy pump kid myself!

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

If you say so. I was too busy shooting sparrows and chipmunks to notice :-)

Awesome!

WOWSA! That wood gives new meaning to the word marble cake.

Simply rifle perfection!

WOW!! That's beautiful Jon.
But inquiring minds want to know...
Was that pic taken at BB's shop?

Yes, I assume so.

Is this the latest design? The stock & action falls down?

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

Nice one Jon

Look forward to more pictures an some hunting

Very nice!

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.
