My New Martini
« on: September 19, 2009, 12:10:08 AM »

She's a .32-40 built on a W.W. Greener 12G shotgun action.  It wears a 26" medium target barrel by Montana Rifleman fitted with NECG sights.  Wood is black walnut with Neidner style buttplate.

The stock work was done by Ken Davis in Perth, Western Australia.  Wood was an Ebay purchase.

Brass is hard to come by but Winchester occasionally do a run. It's not really a problem as cases are easily formed from .30-30, .32 Win Special & .38-55.
