Hey D/R enthusiasts, can we get KARL WEBBER and his cohorts at WFF HEIN www.rifleactions.com to make a

DOUBLE FALLING BLOCK - BIG BORE ACTION??? HAGN did a 30-06 double falling block a few years back.

To reload the FB action may be a little slower than the break open action, (so we would shoot MORE to get as much speed as we could right?)

but the action would be strong enough for a 700 NE at 2400 FPS velocity!!!

Of course such a rifle would weigh some 50 pounds!!!!!
But really, anything up to say 500 NE at 2400FPS would be attractive, would it not?

KARL, are you out there, what do you say? Sell such a rifle for 10K, even if SYNTHETIC stocked

and you'll never be without orders, NEVER!!!!!

[A rifle that's "Off Face", what's that mean? ]

Jack,

Ssssshhh....Don't give Karl any ideas....they need to finish up the Mauser project first

Karl and the gentlemen of Wff Hein are some clever guys and I wouldn't put this passed them to try it. Furthermore, if they did something similar in the past then I'd bet they still have the program saved on a disk and could scale it up or down to suit your needs.

Jack,
Possible, but not probable, at least not in the near future. We have a few too many projects, and yes JJS, the Mauser is top priority as far as new product development goes. I must admit that the subject as been discussed, ussually late in the day if you know what I mean. Keep an eye on us, you never know what may happen.

The double falling block that Hagn built was a beauty. I would love to see Hein turn something like that out, even if only for a piece to showcase their abilities.

Why do we need ANOTHER Mauser Action on the market?

We NEED a BIG BORE - SIDE BY SIDE - HIGH PRESSURE HANDING - FALLING BLOCK - DOUBLE RIFLE!!!!!

Come on www.rifleactions.com - don't let www.dakotaarms.com or anyone else "JUMP YOU" on this.

It's a chance to enter and dominate a NEW WORLD in riflemaking!!!!!

there is an interesting FB DR on this link, austria falling block drscroll way down its near the bottom.

falling block DR! I wanted them to do that last year and nobody else did...I'm gonna get my boxers in a bunch if they do it for y'all and wouldn't build one for me!

Meanwhile, I epoxied 2 Ruger No 1's together yesterday...a 30-30 and a 45-70. Today we'll see how my falling block double rifle works! Then, it'll be off to Searcy for Bill Soverns to stock it!

You are supposed to use duct tape not epoxy! Easier to regulate it...
