I have received a Sportsmans Guide catalog in which Martini 14 ga shotguns are offered at $139 ea. Would these actions be suitable for conversion to centerfire rifle cartriges? Good luck. POW

Yes with a little work they can be converted. Bush the breech block, reduce and dehorn the firing pin, install new barrel, cut new extractor reliefs and weld up and reshape the extractors. Restock

This is a large Greener Martini action longer than the MH and you can put some of the big boys on it.

would you be kind enough to privide some contact information (and maybe a catalog number for the item) for these folks? So far, I haven't been able to find the actions on a search of their web site. Thanks!

Their site says they're out of stock.
Just my luck.
