Some may remember that I had a thread on a Webley/Henry that I cobbled up. I decided to get more adventuresome and go bigger - cartridge not decided but at least .40 So.. Got a block of 4140, and had a square hole drilled...uh... EDM cut. Pictures of the action starting to get roughed out.   Bottom plate, lever, link, and block started  More to follow as I keep at it. Enjoy.

Not much in regard to long guns, except requirement to be registered.
If the long gun registry gets (hopefully) repealed, then even less for long guns - if not done for commercial sale.
Usual rules on barrel and overall length and mag capacity.

The weather here is rather crappy at present, although this winter has been a near miracle, warm and very little snow - too little in fact. Walking is made difficult by the frozen tears of the snowmobilers....... Got a bit more done. Added the bottom tang, threaded for a barrel, cut away some metal that didn't belong...  Other side, fake barrel stub, tapered off the breech block.  From the back, hole in the barrel stub is 1/4" to locate the firing pin hole location.  Enjoy!

Thanks for the link - interesting stuff.
But yes, making it is part of the challenge.

Henry also made right handed locks. Mine is! It also has a stalking safety.

Got a little done on the lock.   And a little on the action - the hole is for the extractor, and the other for the lock, cutaway for the lockwork.  Will be away for a few days, so no more for a while.
