Isn't that the design DeHaas used for his do-it-yourself falling block? Pretty easy to research.

Tough action to analyse. Most of the block support comes from the bottom of the loading trough. This would cause the block to pivot like a Winchester low-wall. The high walls provide little support due to outward bulging. Think I can see bulge gaps at the top of the high walls on the rifle SKB shows. Believe de Hass provided full support for the round block above and below the bore center-line. JMHO, Chuck

I've got all of his books, but never had much interest in his action. Great reference works!

I also have all his books, and a couple of letters from when I was brash enough to write directly to "authorities." Both he and P.O. Ackley were kind enough to answer my questions in detail, and I treasure their letters.
Like most on this forum, they were part of a real community of interest.

I sure would not have fit up a .240 flanged barrel to one, then again it did pass proof and Holland obviously knew better than me.

the real Elephant cartridges are better in the large frame Webley actions, this one is a .500 NE I built.
