I think a hornet based case would be enough for me, just wondering how it worked out. Back when I did the HM2, I was not real sure if I wanted to chew on a scarce extractor for the hornet.:).but those things change you know. They are kinda scarce in this country seems like. I think there is a guy up in OKC that makes the oem type MKII extractor from scratch.around $100 each. Gotta put in the left/right springy ability. Making up a rimless extractor for the MKII is a bit of a job. Seems to shoot/works well for what it is. How does that hornet work on the martini MKII, does it have issues with extraction on some loads? I have one now on the 17 HM2, a completely different animal, but a little of the same idea. I have toyed with updating a MKII martini to 22 hornet or a 17 cal hornet rimmed case myself. I have shot it a few times but it needs the ejector deactivated.can't say how many Hornet cases I've lost.Kiwi
Pity you are in the US I have a BSA MkII International chambered in 22 Hornet. Not sure who would convert the rim fire to center fire but I've heard there's a few out there. Be fun to track it down to the present owner and see if I could get it back.Īnd the "rim fire" 20 VT or "short" would make a perfect round for that heavy rig. It's long gone and has changed hands about 5 times since I sold it. )įound the guy that bought it from the guy I sold it to. So far, it hasn't cost me anything to dream. Been kicking myself ever since.Īlways thought it would be real cool to have one, set up for a center fire, in a 20 VT or even the "short". Found the BSA under his work bench, lid open of the custom built wooden case, rifle still laying in place, covered with saw dust and dirt.:eek:Ī few pits on the barrel but the bore was as new. He died and I got all his guns to sell for his wife.
He/We used it to shoot ground squirrels under his goose house. The BSA small action martini came in several configurations, but the most commonly found are the Cadet model, as sold to Australia for training rifles, and the standard martini, used in nearly all of the target and sporting rifles. 22 Rimfire with a Unertl scope that was about 2" long. One of the older ones that must have weighed 20+ pounds. Had a friend that picked up a BSA Martini International.
