Help - Martini 12/15 barrel contour

I just bought two BSA 12/15 Martini actions that I am having converted to centerfire and was hoping for advice on barrel contour. I am fairly sure the barrel will be 24 inches in length but can anyone recommend the specific breach and muzzle diameter for this action. Any pictures would be greatly appreciatedâ€¦

For calibers I am thinking about .14 Squirrel and a classic .218 Beeâ€¦

Thanks for the help guysâ€¦

I use a barrel of 1 inch in diameter on the shank and about 2 1/2 inches long to mount a base for the scope. I use Conetrol rings and make the base to the correct height for the drop on the stock in classic style. Just test fired a new 20 cal wildcat and will have it completed in a couple of weeks. I will keep you posted on the progress.

I don't know if anyone else has this stock pattern as I made it myself, but I will make it available to someone to make up his own pattern. I don't take on work anymore. If interested send me a PM and we will see if we can work this out.
