Anyone know of a good smith for barreling, chambering and re-working the extractor on a large-action Martini? Closer to Oregon the better. Thanks. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

Thanks Butchloc. We used to have a fella here in Oregon named Jim Wassmundt who did Martini work, but I believe he is now out of the game. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Give Perry Mittelstadt a call. He is now located neer Grand Junction Colorado. Phn # 970-856- 7569. I'm not sure if has messed with the large action martini, but I suspect he has. I have seen several small action martini and remington rolling block rifles that he has worked over (Including bushing the breach and makeing new fireing pins. He converts the small action martinis from rimfire to centerfire as well. The color-case-hardening that he does to rolling blocks is incredible! Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

I don't know who does them the best, but I do know that Bob Snapp has been specializing in Martinis for at least 30 years now. At one time I believe he used to supply rimless extractors for them to the trade....matter of fact, I bought some of his myself about 1967 or '68. | |||

Bob is definitely the best but I believe he's semi-retired now. Regards, Joe __________________________ You can lead a human to logic but you can't make him think. NRA Life since 1976. God bless America! | |||
