Martini Cadet Extraction

I love the little Martini Cadet action; I have rifles built on these actions in 218 Bee, 17 Ackley Bee , a 20 cal. wildcat I developed I call the 20 Raven based on the Dan Wesson 360 case (a rimmed version of the 20 Var Targ) and I am having another built now in 35/30-30.  The only thing I don't like about these actions is the weak extraction!  The 17 AB extracts fine; the 218 Bee is stickly and I see I will have problems with the 20 Raven with hotter loads.
Do any of you Martini guys have any suggustions on how to improve the extraction of the Cadet?
 
Thanks,
Don

The only thing I've found that helps with extraction, especially with fairly straight, higher pressure cartridges, is to use the .22 rimfire extractor from the 12/15 Martini, which will cover the entire lower half of the case head.   I know, the rim contact area is reduced as the case extracts, but you at least start out with a bit more of the rim engaged by the extractor.

Try Snapps Gun Shop --- somewhere in Pa. I think.  Someone is bound to have his address. Bob specializes in Martinis.   Ken
