Falling Block Reciever

Hey all, New member here. I have a question that I hope someone here can answer.
I have recently taken an interest in the falling block receiver. I know there are a few books and plans out there for it. Does anyone still make the castings? I have heard about Action Casting Kits by Rodney Storie. Are these still around, and how do I contact him? Is there a website? I would be interested in other casting kits by different makers. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ken

Your right Michigan, title only partially changed. I cant even figure out how to delete this post. I hate this clickity-Clack machine.

That email for Rodney Storie keeps failing delivery. I think it no longer exists.

Strange, i received an e-mail from him on Tuesday. He can also be contacted by PM on the ASSRA website. ASSRA is the American Single Shot Rifle Association, a very worthwhile site to and associaton to join if you have an interest in these firearms.
