I know that some of us, having been around single shot actions for a while, have developed ideas and built scratch designs. Information on these projects would be priceless!  Perhaps pictures of complete and/or disassembled actions..

You have seen this one before. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
Have built several other actions with changes I thought were important. Working on a modified Maynard now.

Chuck, Thanks! I have a hundred different questions!
Would it be possible to have a 'wild hair' sticky where all of us could post and explain ideas that we have developed? The information would be priceless.

I like your idea of a thread devoted to design/builds, and scratch builds. “Watching” the threads on the scratch builds is my favorite topic on this forum.   

I think a change in the title to your thread that is more descriptive could help get this going.  Perhaps you could get the ball rolling by titling it “Links to Scatch Build Single Shot Actions” and add some links to some recent builds to get the ball rolling.

If the thread were to catch on, then a sticky would be great.

'Links to scratch built Single Shot actions.' Excellent! We would be able to gather together all those past posts in one place? And add new ones as they come along?

AJ, would you, or another knowledgeable person, take this ball and run with it? I am too old. I would help where I can. And I would post stuff!

Thanks!

I’m tied up with work for the next few months, but I may take a shot at starting a thread in the summer.

I have all the materials to build a sideways sliding vault lock.  Unfortunately, there are about 20 projects in the queue before it.
