Huvius - I am not sure what you meant by this statement - "It is #154 which is very early for a falling block rifle."
Do you mean early for a Field's Patent? or early for an English falling block CF rifle?
I am referring to the Field's patent use number.
Field patented a pivoting block action which is similar to a Martini but with a side lever and the true falling block action.
I assume the pivoting block actions occupy the earlier uses of the patent since more often than not, the falling blocks are in the four digit range of the patent use.
