Martini Chamber Adaptors

post pics an info..........any help most welcomed .
will look into contacting kerry jenkins as well.
thanks

Here is the chamber adapator system I mentioned a while back. It is fairly straight forward. A magnum rifle case is first anealed at the neck. Then it is inserted into the adaptor and is fire formed in the rifle which then blows the neck out.
Ta da! A case lasts a long time. The only thing is you have to be careful as the necks are soft and can get damaged. The case becomes swaged into the adaptor so it stays in. When it gets worn out it is a simple matter of putting it in a vise and driving it out.

Thats different but looks very interesting!
The one I saw was a one shot, push out fired case, reload and fire, this made the mad minute interesting!

Yes its a Safety, I think that was installed into the Antique action later.
tho i have seen Antique Martinis with Saftey levers just like mine.

Your safety was part of the rifle when it left the factory, NOT installed later.
