Thanks Tom.

I have had numerous requests for the plans, but this rifle is still a prototype and there will likely be many engineering changes as it progresses. I'll also need to look into any patent, copyright or liability issues before making it available.

Adapting it for a more powerful cartridge would definitely not be advisable. The falling block design is quite weak and only adequate for the .22 rimfire cartridge. Stevens did offer a .32 rimfire version but they were shorts, and not very popular.
