tINY--Yes it is a strong bolt lug system. There are a few around the country that were imported but the ammo never was imported
so they made a run of brass cases for it. And Rocky Mtn Brass has a big bunch of the 3 inch 4bore cases left that only fit that gun.Ed,

I propose calling them leftists henceforth. The term liberal to me brings to mind the Founding Fathers, representative democracy, the rule of law and free market economy.

Yeah, I'm the same as Ocraknife. Generally liberal, but NRA member. Not all of us are evil

TJ--You can get a Tula 4bore case at Rocky
Mountain cartridge. $20 shipping included. Their # 307-587-9693. I have none left. I only helped get th e run of brass made the right size for other guys who have the guns and there is a big bunch left. They are head stamped Tula 4 GA As for the cartridge we call 12GA FH it is technically and physically labeled on the barrels 12 GA 3 3/4. They are not going to bother anymore than with the 12ga 3 1/2" I don't think..Ed

Another shotgun/rifle experiment is 28ga FH.
Rocky MTN is making me some 3.25 in 28ga cases. They are good to 38k psi. That will get 550 gr out at 2500 in bolt action.A regular 28ga gun may get to 2000, depending on how heavy barrel is. Get a NEF Ultra cut off leaving breech section for monoblock and have 28ga rifled barrel made and screwed or soldered in monoblock. And being able to hold 38k to match brass, That would get 2500 fps loads.Ed

Just out of curiosity, you think you might be able to mount a M102 howitzer to a shoulder stock in the near future? lol.

Hi Karl-- Can you send me some warm weather.
Donaldo--We think that our falling block project will lead to having one big enough for our 4bore and our 2bore Karl mentioned above.Ed

Well, I guess a 30mm will do if it's all we got to work with...

Tested AA2015- VV N130- Norma200- in plastic cases with small primers. They don't fire
dependably. Sqibs and misfires. Have VV N110 ordered to test.Have had inquiries about getting our cases shortened for strength and they want to put in small primer. They can be adapted with bushing. Ok but must use 4759 or fast shotgun powders, if they are used by themselves. Any slower powders, a fast shotgun starter powder is needed. My testing shows RE-15 with 10gr of Blue Dot starter is best of all we tested in slower powders for shorter cases.Ed

Here is picture of the first falling block
model of aluminum, with a roughed out stock to see how it looks. Action is a rough model. It shoulders nice, and lever is inlet into pistol grip, so you can't get banged up fingers with the big cartridges it is designed for, like levers that stick down at the guard.Ed

tINY--Comb is uphill a 1/4" at back from comb front.So
it won't hit the face. The front of comb can also be whittled back and more curve added to top of the grip, if a longer tang is wanted for the tang mounted ladder sights.Ed

The top rear of action will have a recess to mount
any length tang you need. The lever can be straightened easily for straight grip stocks also.Ed.

The comb in that picture looks pretty squared off on top. I like the reverse angle - it makes shooting cannons more comfortable...... -tINY |

Here is pic of action model with lever open
and the breech block down. Also the action will have a slot in the rtop rear for a top tang of whatever length you need. Can even add a long tang for tang sights.

Info about the toggle link. It is up inside
the breech block, and quite short,and that allows the overall height of the action to be relatively compact, for the huge cases we plan on using.But yet the top part of the breechblock is solid for great strength.Ed

Asked about using 900 gr saboted bullets in
3" plastic cases in regular barrels with 4759 or RL-15 and starter powder. With bullets that heavy you'd have too high of pressures with 4759 for plastic cases. Possibly could do it with RL-15 and starter powder in plastic, but only in heavy barreled like NEF. But the 600 gr Dixie is still the best for most uses in plastic. A NEF and brass RMC cases would handle 900 gr Saboted bullet with RL-15 and starter powder. Start at 80 gr Rl-15 and go up if cases don't expand to much to resize.Ed

Here is pic of a double that I will put
barrels in, monoblock style, using the breech section for the monoblock. This one will be for 28GA FH. May get another same size for my 510HE. I will be able to run full pressures with these.....I am trying to find a bigger, heavier one to put 12GA FH in. I want heavier one so as to run pressures like my Savage as a minimum.Ed.

I was looking at an 8ga single on
GB, that looked heavy enough to put a barrel in for 12ga or 700HE. They wanted much more than it cost new.It was a real heavy Spanish single. If I found an extra, or the 8ga Tonolini double, I might leave it 8ga, as I could make a few cases by reworking 20mm Suzy brass, can be done without adding rim,which would be super strong cases like our 12ga FH.Ed

Had question about locking RMC cases onto
lead slugs, as they don't crimp into the grooves well as sharp bend works thick mouth. First I resize tight and slightly bell mouth.Insert slugs which take a little pressure. Then I use a die with slightly more taper and swage the mouth into slug, like the fit you get with bottleneck cases. Same deal works with our long cases made from BMG brass.Ed
