Mike,
Yes, the first caliber I would like to do is a .218 Bee. I have a Thompson Contender 10" in the same chambering, plenty of brass and also reloading dies. Plus it would make this a fun little walk about rifle and a great match in a single shot.
I didn't show the tang here for clarity as I wanted a nice big picture to better show the details. The complete drawing has each piece separated out and dimensioned including an item and material list. Here a two more illustrations of the action cocked and ready to fire and with the swinging block lowered to extract the cartridge case. I wanted to do this on the computer to hopefully cut down on the time spent handfitting the internals of this design and make sure all the parts fit with the proper clearances and functions. This should really help me save time and not have to remachine any parts.
