Martini action blow up
« on: March 02, 2005, 11:08:24 AM »
I have made several conversions on the Martini actions and never had a problem.  I posted on another forum the questions below.

     What type of steel is used on the 12/15 mod. Martini action?  Has anyone had a Martini heattreated by color case hardening?  Who did the work?  I would like to contact the company.
     The thread OD. is about 3/4 in. on the barrel.  I have never seen a Martini blown to bits.  Does anyone have pictures of a blown Martini action.  I am not searching this as an attorney would be, but just looking for information.
