There seems to be a lot of information on building a double rifle on a shotgun action, but I have not had any luck finding information for a single shot rifle build on a shotgun action.

My requirements as I view them now are, a hammerless break action of suitable strength, to be chambered in 9.3X74R (subject to change). I would like a fore end with a latch system, so no tools would be needed to break it down for transport.

I am not a machinist or gunsmith, but take machine shop 101, at our local community college, where most of the work would take place. I'm 63, and enjoy the machine work.

I am open to suggestions as to what actions would be most suitable. If you have a suggestion on books to purchase, I would appreciate that also.

Thank you.
