Bingo I got it! Thank you so much. I do see one correction and that is the tiny "bridge" section where the sear return spring plunger rests on. Mine is apparently a little too wide. I will make this correction. The drawings I have and folks sent me did not have any machining tolerances so I implemented my own. Mostly .010 on machined parts and about the same on the clearance on the block to mortice fit. Since I don't have an original to scale I just came up with .010. If it doesn't function well or appears too tight I just remove another thousands or two. The firing pin hole is I think a little too big at .098 but if it is a problem I can always install a removable bushing with a couple capture screws. Again thank you for your effort. Got some good folks here...

Another problem has arised and I hope I got the fix right. When I open the action the block lowers about 1/4 inch before the firing pin starts to retract causing it to "drag" across the primer. I figured out through elimination the pin through the front of the firing pin wasn't traveling far enough forward to contact the pieces that retract it the instant the block drops. I couldn't take any material off the firing pin so I re drilled the hole depening it after some careful measuring. After shortening the firing pin tip to extend .050 it now immediately retracts. Understand I machined the block from drawings and the original unusable casting so I knew they would be some adjustments. Hope I "fixed" the right thing. Well it works now anyway...
