Thought you gunsmith fellows would like to see the
idea I applied to putting falling blocks in one piece
thumbhole stocks. First one was the 4bore, the big one in
picture and after it was done I got a FBW falling block
and soon figured out I could do the same with it.
It is chambered in my 585HE cartridge.
I built the 4bore, from blocks of steel.
The FBW is the Model L, and I'm doing second one
in 3.5" 20ga, to use brass and plastic cases.Ed

Mr. Hubel, What do you Hunt with them - Buffalo? Elephants?

Are you using Hard-Cast Lead, jacketed, or Turned Solids?

Iron Sights?

Any reenforcement in the Grip area?

Amazing rifles!

Just make big holes easy to see.
Haven't lost a sand pile yet.

We use hard cast, jacketed, and turned.
Full bore and saboted.
Have tested many kinds folks have sent us.
I use peep sights. We put bolts in wrists
on the serious kickers.
As soon as extra 700 barrels rounded up I
can just fit my 700HE in the FBW also.

Others have used various of our ideas on deer and
hog, some will get used on real big game later..Ed
