Anyone recognize this action? It's a falling block but I can't seem to remember which one. It looks like a strong design. I found it sans any paper work. I guess I like puzzles.

I found out my answer. It is a D.S. Cole. Cast by Rodney Storie in Oklahoma. Alas, there are no more of these available. Sigh........
It's well on it's was to being a shooting iron. Breach block, lever, hammer and trigger are installed. Works smoothly with a little oil. Trigger appears to be slightly misdrilled. Adjustments will be made as needed. Someone started this kit and lost interest. Yea for me. I do like puzzles. Hammer needs a stirrup and the firing pin has to come up at an odd angle to be centered on the block face. It's slick enough now and will be much slicker when color case hardened. Now, what caliber do I need today?
