I relined this martini to K hornet. The open sights would not aim anywhere near the point of impact, so had to add the scope with an unconventional ring system. The barrel is very thin. Anyway. A happy project!

Great looking rifle. What scope had that much eye relief?

The scope is an Lyman Alaskan.

I made the front mount. Kinda proud of that. The barrel has a bit of a rib which increases the challenge!

Beautiful little rifle. That front mount must have had you doing a bit of serious machining. Like the way it turned out. Frank

Thanks, Frank. The finished mount looks complicated, but it is just the result of very simple machining steps.

Rifle has allot of charm and its extremely sad few are still being made today. But you have one and its a very nice rifle to say the least.

very nice, great job on the mount!

ETA Do you like the way the barrel and frame lock up? I have no experience with Greener takedowns

The receiver is split below the barrel shank and the barrel is loose until the cross pin tightens the receiver grip on the barrel. Seems to work well.

You don't mention that the barrel does screw into the receiver---it isn't just a slide in fit.
