Totally forgot about this post so apologies to all. Still haven't done anything with the martini. I'm retired and money is not always there for fun projects. I bought one of the Canadian BSA complete barreled actions with a forearm but no buttstock, luckily the Port Royal gunshop had a nice stock and at a affordable price. Only problem is the now permanent installed barrel the gunsmith surface ground the extractor for a better fit on the breech face of the barrel.And the bottom of the breech block does not hit the extractor for ejection. The original cocking lever was kinda messed up so a gent supplied me with a beautiful one. There was an article in either Home shop Machinest or Projects in Metal about welding a blob of weld where the block would hit but darned if I can find the article. So thinking about drilling and tapping for a screw in the extractor. I laid out where the screw on the extractor but way too hot in the garage right now. Frank
