Here is my Martini which I started about 4 yrs ago. It is now being checked out at the range. Everything is custom about this rifle. Action, stock, sight base, butt plates, grip cap,safety, chamber reamer, headspace gage, and reloading tools. It is a special 20 cal. about .100 inch shorter than a 204 Ruger. The barrel was threaded and chambered on a mini lathe 7X12 and the sight base cut on a mini mill. Stock routed on my custom made duplicator.

That looks VERY good, how about some more closeups of the details?
Regards, Joe

YES-please more details also on the loading
tools
Thanks Sydney

Close up of the grip area showing the trigger stop and safety. I like a light pull on the Martini and the trigger block will keep the firing pin from falling, but it has to be set very close so by opening the action you don't break the trigger off. The grip cap was cut out with hacksaw and hand filed to shape. I put a little engraving around to break up the oval shape. The butt plates were cut out of 1/8 inch cold rold steel. I can remove the butt stock through the center large screw cap. My next project is to do some engraving on the rest of the rifle.

Sydney,

This reloader was made for traveling in my RV. It started out as a similar tool to the Newton hand press from around 1910. I made several changes to make everything interchange. This size tool will load up to 375 H & H with neck size only. If you would like to know more send me a PM.

A beautiful rifle from a Master Gun Builder!

Great looking rifle!

I never met a Martini custom that I didn't like.
Yours is just as nice as it can be.

Cheers, John

Very nice rifle Mr. Brooks...was this built off the tailgate of your pickup .
Lots of talent there, nice build.

Enjoy!!!

This rifle had 8X10 stick building for its beginning at my Lake lot. I sold all of my machines and the property.

The Show and Tell article on the Gunsmithing site will be my last and final stock. Too much time working and not enough for shooting in the field. VARMINT SHOOTING ONLY

Les -

I love the little Martini cadet actions, and that is a gorgeous little thing. Could you please show some additional details of the safety you made up. I have two I am working on, a .22 long rifle sporter, and .223 varminter.

Dave

First, a very interesting and nice rifle. And than, I found, the reloading tools are very interesting. Such things are very rare.

Martin

A very nice little rifle..

what scope is that?

Nortman,

The scope is the old Weaver 12 power with a fine cross hair from about 50 yrs ago. It is a good clear scope and perfect for shooting off the bench.

Very nice - the talent displayed on this website never ceases to amaze me!

Very cool. Nice work.

les are you still in texas?
