Someone mentioned a Woodward action in another thread.
Here is a pic of a clone that I am scratch-buiding to add to my collection of home built Brit single shots.
Hole cut by EDM, barrel is 32-40.
Forgot to include the breech block and cocking arm in the photo.
Bottom hole is the retainer for the action plate, upper hole is for the extractor/ejector.
Most data came from Winfer's book, but he did make a serious oopsie in the book, caused me to almost abandon the action!
Some mods, such as coil spring action, spring return firing pin.
Sloping arm is for a tang mounted safety.

The only original Woodward I have seen was a Holland and Holland in .240 H&H. It was a drop dead gorgeous lust inspiring rifle. Please show us yours again when you have finished it.

You've got my attention oldstarfire. I look forward to progress updates, and maybe some pics of your other home built single shots.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

That is very nice, well done.
Would not object to a few more pictures, action open, breech block, etc.

Dont blame me, you asked for it!
My first attempt, Webley style round breech block.
Sorta Henry style with left side lock, turned into a decent .22 rifle.
