I start with I don't own a Falling BlockWorks action.But as I live fairly close to Joe Fix in Maybe Mi. about hour and a half (Hillsdale Mi.) I have visited Joe and given a very informative review of the product line and some prototype items.Very well made actions,built with modern tool steels,as Joe worked for the Tank Plant in Warren Mi.he had contact with advanced processes, along with excellent quality.I am not related to the Fix Bros, we did go to school together.As I was a freshman,they wouldn't have noticed me,except to harass in the halls. Monroe CC was tough back in the 50's and 60's.I will buy at least two actions for projects I have in mind,but I have to finish about six gun projects before I buy them.I did promise my wife I would do it this way,she is very patient and understanding when it comes to gun stuff. I bought a pickup load of gun smithing stuff before the new year and still sorting out my boxes!! Contact Leo Fix
