I have a couple of Martini Cadet rifles and would like to convert one of them to .357 Magnum caliber, never having done this I would like some input to a couple questions. I will not be doing this work myself.
I see that it is advisable to bush the firing pin. Is this always done or dependent on the individual rifle?
If this was your conversion would it be best to re-barrel or reline the original barrel. If I reline then the one with windage and elevation adjustable sights would be my choice, the other Cadet has only elevation adjustable sights and would be my choice if I re-barrel, either way I want open sights.
Any recommendations for a gunsmith to do the conversion? Any other considerations or input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gene
