Riedl Rifle Company, info?

[Casull]

I have a big falling block action. It is marked Riedl Rifle Company. The block is moved up and down in it's recess by gears on the lever and block. It is much larger than a Ruger #1 and very well built. This one has never been made into a full rifle. I have letters from 1977 from James Riedl in California talking about fitting parts of the action. It is not mostly converted to .577 NE 3". Does anyone know anything about these actions and rifles?
I also need it stocked, the stock with it is not large enough for my intended purpose. Who would be the guy to fit a two piece stock to this thing?
Any info would be appreciated.

Yeah, that's the son I guess. That page has not changed in a few years and there is no reply from the email address given.

Companys gone may as while just dump the project, I could likely take it off your hands

John,
I could likely be talked out of the .577NE now that I've done a .500 and found a .600 since I started it. But neither .577NEs or Riedl's come cheap. I would be open to interesting offers or trades though.
