Vintage Falling Blocks!

Let's see some pics and info! Your own rifles, ones you've found for sale, ones you just like, all sorts!

I already made a thread about this one I found: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/steyr-falling-block-8mm-guedes.55673/#post-633216

Here's another nifty one I've never seen before, 11mm made by L.H. Hagen & Co. in Norway that uses a side crank-action instead of a typical lever.

Cool rifle.

Isn't it? Might wanna add it or one like it to my collection one day. Would be neat if someone could replicate the design with the advantage of modern materials and updates for modern loads.

I don't have any pictures but learned to shoot and hunt with a martini endfield of fathers. Unfortunately when he became ill older sister talked it out of him. She then give it to a brother in law who sold it for less then I offered him for it.

Member Bailey Bradshaw builds falling blocks, doubles, a rising block as well as side leaver falling blocks. He has posted quite a few pictures of his builds.

Have never seen one of his rifles in person but they do look nice from the pictures and his prices are good relative to the amount of work that must go into them.

I've looked at Mr. Bradshaw's photos on here and at his website as well. His side-lever was part of what got me looking for interesting and different ones.
