A fellow by the name of DeHass, I believe that is correct, wrote a book on
making a single shot action he designed.  I don't know if it is still
inprint or not.  He wrote a number of books on riles.  Perhaps a used book
store could find a copy.  

Good Luck

Frank DeHaas, and the book is Single Shot Actions, v 1 and 2. *THE* books.
You'll find them advertised in the classified section of SHotgun News,
last I looked.

This has been done to death several times before here! You CAN make a 
firearm as long as you can legally own a firearm. You may not make a 
machinegun unless you meet the above requirement AND send the BATF lots 
of money...

    There's a book of single shot rifle plans available fron Brownell's....
    I don't have the catalog here at work, but I think this is the same
    one you're referring to. The name  DeHass (sp?) sounds familiar.

 	Call 'em and ask. They are generally helpful folk.

					Good luck,

my opinions! all mine!

This comes up from time to time here. The laws are not as restrictive as
you might think. I am not up on them, but my son who held a class III 
license (machine guns, etc.) as well as a FFL assures me that it can
legaly be done. Of course there are regulations as to what you can make.
