I'm going to be starting a falling block build soon, and I'm trying to decide on some design choices.
I'm trying to decide if i want to go with a solid receiver with a round breech block (similar to Darcy), or a square block but of a "sandwich" or clamshell receiver (kinda like a chicopee).
I've got some stuff drawn up, and will be incorporating several different ideas from other guns into this. I do not intend this to be a copy of any particular rifle, but rather just something fun for me to shoot. I will most likely be chambering for 45 colt.
Given the choice between the two styles I've listed, what would the group here do? I welcome all feedback and suggestions. Also any pictures from wherever would be greatly appreciated!!!
Also please note, I'm writing this at 3 am so I may have left out details important to this discussion, so please forgive me and just ask!!!
