I am wanting to know if anyone would have actual sizes or blueprints of some really good rifles? examples such as 40x, bsa martini, Winchester 52, Suhl 150, etc. etc. Thank you in advance for any help or leads as to where I may find them.
I am wanting to build a very good rifle for personal use but not have a ridiculous amount of money in it
Thanks for all the responses and help however it seems that buying a blank is the way to go. I was wanting to make my own and tweek little things to improve on the existing design.
sThe only blueprints I have ever seen avable to the public (for sale )are for rolling bock or falling block actions.
As far as I know there are no blue prints for anything remotely close to "bench rest" actions.
As goofy mentioned, why.?
Are you planning on building an action?
Or just wanting the blue prints hanging on your wall.
Two sources I can think of would be e-bay and http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/forums/8-Gunsmithing
I built a copy of a rolling block years ago and to be perfectly honest, it ended up costing three times as much as just going out and buyng one.
Another source would be from a book call " Mr. single shot's Book of Rifle Plans " by Frank and Mark de Haas. His plans are disgned in a way as to not have to buy outragesly expensive tooling. Just reasonably expensive.
Note, I just noticed there is one of his actions that can be made with normal home tools.
That action is really popular it's called " the Chicopee action " I have actually seen a couple of them at the range.
