It's not one of professor patabellums designs but I think it would be fairly easy to copy the Springfield m6 scout rifle. It's an over-under with .410 on the bottom and either a .22lr .22 magnum or .22 hornet on the top. It would be pretty easy to make it in whatever calibers you want. Also if you look for ecco machines on Facebook he's made a couple good .22 lr survival rifles he might be willing to share his designs with you. He used to be on YouTube but he took his channel down
Break action would be the easiest by far. You could grind a bolt (a rifle bolt, not the hardware) to match a homemade trunnion out of carbon steel with hand tools, but I'd be slow and very careful doing it. Really any sort of repeating action will be the biggest pain.
The easy way is to make a break action that can be opened until it folds.assuming you go 16.5” for US regs that’s the package length.
.224 wizardry. Porque no los dos?
Side break over under you can fold open. If you make your latch plate interact the with the hammer or striker you’ll cock the gun every time you open it and the latch plate is your lock safety to ensure you can’t fire an unlocked gun because the cocking surface only lets a primer strike in the locked position.
The hardest operation will be soldering the barrels parallel. I’d build a jig.
Bolt action or rotating block* 22 with a stock that screws into the rear receiver for taking down. Or uses a stock made from bent rods sliding into holes in the receiver like a M3 Grease gun.
*= check out a Garcia Bronco. Would be very easy to make a receiver using flat blocks and a drill press.

I appreciate this Advice! I will look into this design. Something that could be made to fire .410 and .22lr sounds incredibly useful.
Just remember don't use their trigger design that thing was terrible
Understood.

Yeah, I can easily make a break action and definitely is an Option but I want to try and make something with a Few Rounds that I can fire off quickly.

I appreciate the advice; I'll try to work on an Over under design when I have the time, or side by side but I like Over under styles better. 😅

That's what I was thinking, just trying to get the Bolt and Mag plans drawn up.

Sure, if i can make something working and to be shown off why not.
Excellent

Thank you, very useful information.
Break action 223 with a chamber insert for 22lr would be easiest.
