Yeah, I'm looking around at a few after market components but I like your sentiments about the actions itself. You might enjoy this one: go to www.huntamerica.com and on the left column see "Talk Forums" then proceed to "Hunting in Alaska" then see entry number 6 entitled "Polar Bear Attacked but her survived..." Ghastly stuff, really. lucky is what I say. I recall hunting with a guide one time who had a few photos of a polar bear hunt he made in the far north of Canada and the bear he brought down was so big he could not get his arms around its neck. The photo was of him behind and to the side of its head and it's no joke, its neck was larger than his chest.
we're travelling to the gunsmith's in a couple of weekends so I'll post the stock blanks when I get there and as I go along I'll keep posting the various stages of this fascinating project.
As for the next gent below, yes your photos came up and I'll remain curious about how it goes with the loadings.
