gwahirone off break action
I designed this rifle as an inline striker system break action. All design work is compromise, but it still worked out. There is a straight line from the firing pin tip to the south end of the stock thru bolt, hence the somewhat strange looking grip area. Oh well.
It is chambered for 30-30 and pretty much does what it is supposed to!

dpcdVery nice. Did you mono block the barrel in, or braze on a lug.
Now all it needs is a side lock and a big hammer to look right.

farbedoI like the maple stock.
Is the striker cocked on open or close and released by the trigger or does the trigger movement set and release it like on a Glock?
Nice work. Gives one ideas.

Alec TorresThat's a nice effort. You could possibly derive inspiration if you follow the link below you will find some unque, one-off break open guns by Phillip Ollendorf - Austrian Gunmaker. I meet him some years ago and was awestruck by his work.

Brian CanadaI have several break open single shots in H&R. Love' em! I have configured a 30-30 for my grandson.
The CEB 100 gr Raptor bullet is cool and really kills deer size game. ( He killed a blu wildebeest with it.) Seat it shallow and load it up. Also, I ordered some CEB 130gr. Raptors. for him.
The overall length of a break open single shot is nice and short.

skl1Nice! And 30-30 is perfect chambering. I like the stock config. I don't think it looks awkward.
Anxious to learn how the striker is cocked and how the locking/unlocking system is set up (that underlever?).

Mono block. I will get working on the hammer!

The striker is cocked by the movement of the lever as it unlocks the system. Sear and trigger system.

gwahirI wanted to mention; the trigger/sear/cocking piece arrangement is the same as a Winchester 70. The parts are very different, of course!
