Look at the general context of what Pope did and why. 

He was changing from a cf to a 22 rf, a lot less distance to move the block than .32 rf to .32 cf.  I think he also lowered the block, not raised it.  He used an offset pin, with an eccentric crank built into it, to move the block.  he changed barrels, using a different barrel for .22 than for the CF use. 

The context that he did it in was that he was nearly destitute most of his life.  He couldn't afford readily more than one rifle.  At the same time, he didn't have a huge amount of time to work on his own stuff, he had more than enough to do keeping client stuff going out the door to make what living he did.  So, he did an expedient thing, not necessarily the best solution.

Not many of us are in the circumstances that we can't afford to pay $200 or more to do it right.  I'd sure do that rather than a makeshift accommodation that might cost much more in wear and damage to the rifle, and probably wouldn't cost much less to have a gunsmith do the makeshift work than a good fix.

tdelewis:      If your bore and chamber are in good condition you can chamber a .32 long or short colt cartridge with no modification.  This has been discused on the forum. Do a search. Then a CF breachblock is all you need.  You are still stuck with the existing twist.

uscra112, can you supply the place you read of that three-hole link in the Winchester? I got to thinking about that, and even stacked up some parts, but I don't think there's any place in there that a link like that would fit. I don't ever want to do one that way, but I like to know as much of the "lore" of the 'walls as I can.

Oh, man, I didn't need it that badly, nor immediately. If I sounded all imperative I didn't mean to. I will restate my query to say that if you drift across that bit of info, let me know. I've spent thirty-odd years learning (?) these rifles, so waiting isn't hard. In the meantime you may resume your normal activity. Thanks for looking.  Pat

The detail for the eccentric pin to raise and lower the block for rf/cf is in "The Story of Popes Barrels".  As I recall, just involves the lever pivot pin, not the link.
