Like the fiddleback in the stock on that K Hornet, I'll be interested to see how it shoots.

Quite like the Martini action, nice and petite, just right for small cartridges like the Hornet, Bee etc.

I think I have a few of those actions sitting in the safe just waiting for when I've got some free time and a few barrel blanks. I've even got a few nice sticks of wood to attach the metal too.............Kiwi

Jay

You might want to try ADI- AR 2205 and AR 2207 powders,
these 2 powders show the best results for the 35 -40 gr weight end for the bullets, in the K Hornet.

Back in the 60's, the local gun shop had a barrel full of the Martin Cadet rifles for $25- 30 each.

I passed on them and have been kicking myself since then,
very hard to find in my area.

Very nice looking smoke pole.

I have a Ruger 77 in K hornet that is my go to rifle, for ADC work controlling sage bunnies in the hay fields, works very inside 200 yds or so.

Tia,
Don
