well guys ..  after several hours talking to Mr.Steve Zihn ..i broke down and sent him a check .
he was very informative and great sense of humor
and answered all of my questions....
so I've commissioned Mr Zihn to build me a poor boy barn rifle in iron.    .40 caliber.
(the waiting is already killing me )
