Just finished my Martini project. It was a large frame .22 club gun with Parker Hale vernier rear sight. I had a 1903A3 2 groove Springfield barrel so I fitted and chambered it to 30/40. No wood when I got the action so I put an old sporter stock on it and made a fore arm from an old busted trap door carbine . Total cost so far is just under $400.
I went to the range to give it the blow up test with Winchester factory 180 gr. I shot 20 rounds through it and all was well. Used the first 15 rounds to set the range plate and zero. The last 5 rounds I shot for grope and from a fore arm rest it put all 5 in a .877 circle. Thats the good part the bad is the fount sight is way to high I am using the issue sight so will have to lower it about .500 inch .
May be I should try some boolits before I start lowering the sight. I built this to shoot real boolits so what do you think.
