Hi Double D,

I have had a long love affair with martini's since owning a .22 as a small boy. I have a long held ambition to build a 7-30 waters for muntjac, roe and fallow deer(I am having build a GP jungle gun built at the moment, pics to follow).
Can you expand on the issues of action strength requirements please! I nearly bought an old .22 small frame with a safety, but I thought it probably would not be strong enough? (it is very difficult to buy and store actions or barrels etc for projects in the uk). I understand the issue of the case base size in relation to the knock form on the barrel but what about the action strength of older francotte actions etc?
