Hello to all, I am new to this whole forum thing, and this is my 3rd post ever, (Posted two in the humor section as a test)

I have fallen in lust with double rifles, but being a little short on funds, am unable to afford one at the present time. However I am a very talented machinist, and decided that I will build my own. I just need plans for an action. I figure this will be both an education and a fun journey full of cuss words and bloody fingers, and will probably cost more than just buying one, so I figured it would be perfect for me!

Here is what I want to build; a double hammer gun, with a Jones under lever, and double triggers. I want it to be chambered in something that I am going to use, and not expensive to shoot, but having a little history to it as well. The venerable 30-30 Winchester fit’s the bill to a “T”. Good on dangerous deer to 150 yards, and will stop a charging raccoon at 5 paces with a well placed brain shot.

So… does anyone have blue prints (machinist drawings) for an action like this? Any info on heat treating and type of steels to use would be helpful as well.
