    Looks like a #5 action, never seen one in 43 Spanish. Most were 7X57. Should be fine in 44-40. If it were mine I would probably go with a new barrel at 26" long.

    I picked up a Cadet action and wood several years ago and went the other way, it's now a 32 S&W with an octagon barrel. It's almost like shooting a 22 LR with a little more knock down power.
