I have been working on a strengthened action design based on the 1895 Winchester, with the hopes of starting to produce a small run of Magnum 1895s.
I will be working with a yet to be found CAD designer to modify and enlarge the action, but I need the design dimensions of all parts... have yet to find actual blueprints. Anyone who knows a good CAD designer would also be appreciated
Any help on these fronts is gratefully accepted!

That sounds like quite a project. Any particular reason you chose the '95 Winchester over the '99 Savage?

Two main reasons... the first is Aesthetic, but secondly, the 1895 is a long action that would be easier to modify (also for the use of rimmed magnums). I'm a lefty, so I like lever guns for their speed and ease of use.

I have only ever seen one part print that I did not keep these may be of interest. It came from the same guy that did the prints for the Remington No 1 Rolling Block it may still pay to try and track the guy down. He did many designs in full.
