A Reproduction of the Hopkins & Allen Junior?

On another forum is this thread, implying that C. Sharps may be contemplating a modern repro of the Hopkins & Allen 922 Junior.

For them of us as collects pre-WW1 boys' rifles, the 922 is judged to be the strongest design of the lot, being a true falling-block. H&A never did the it justice by building it with quality it deserved. Made with modern steels and CNC accuracy, the little rifle would be a natural for any of the rimfire "magnums" we have today, and even some modest centerfires. I hope they go ahead with it.

I have one that is stamped Merwin and Hulbert and in 22 RF it is identical to a H&A 922 as well as I can tell.
I also have a large frame H&A falling block I converted to 50-70 and a Davenport falling block I converted to 357 Maximum. I love the design and think someone could reproduce a similar action today that would be cheap to make and be very popular.

They are a nice design. I've had a few of them.
Currently just a Model 3922 Jr Schuetzen I rebuilt from a junker.
