My circulation is just fine. In fact..its been discussed on the internet more than once. I take pretty good care of myself these days. I dont have a spare heart or too many more spare arteries.

"...and by the way, Mr.Speaker, the Second Amendment is not for killing little ducks and leaving Huey and Dewey and Louie without an aunt and uncle. It's for hunting politicians, like in Grozny, and in the colonies in 1776, or when they take your independence away." Representative Bob Dornan

Don't try that cheap shot with me, Gunner. You aren't fooling anyone.
You repeated that silly quip without even thinking about what it means. If it "isn't needed until they try to take it," then you don't think it's "needed" to protect yourself against an intruder (he doesn't give a damn about no steenking Second Amendment, he just wants to shoot you), right?
In other words, you didn't think. You just jerked your knee.

No, it is not. Its purpose is to protect "the security of a free state".
Its purpose is to protect all the *other* amendments.
Speaking of not thinking, Ed... What we *really* need the Second Amendment for is if the federal government attempts to take away the First, or the Fourth, or the Sixth, etc.
So, what kind of insurance would reflect a parallel to the quip? How about, "This insurance policy isn't needed until someone tries to take it away. Otherwise, you won't need it."
Great. An insurance policy that insures you against having your insurance policy taken away. Otherwise, it isn't needed. One wonders what value the insurance policy is, if you won't "need" it before then
-- not if you die first, or have a heart attack first, or have your car stolen first.
What a great and useful insurance policy! Try thinking before engaging your keyboard.
I have it barreled, and have the butt stock. Im still working on the foreend. I was in something of a tither trying to find a small centerfire cartridge that would work, but it was modified to the point that it was most difficult to convert back to centerfire, so I installed a Beyer stainless barrel that I swapped for. Im considering fluting it because it is a bit..heavy. Id considered a carbon fiber barrel..but the $$ was way out of my reach..and then I had that medical issue....shrug.
And I thank you again. When the ship comes in..and/or manufacturing once again blooms in California, Ill finish it up and shoot it in my Saturday morning small bore matches.

You seem to be rather fixed minded and narrow sighted. But..shrug..thats been one of your defining traits for a very long time.
I wont need the 2nd Amendment until a poly tick or a criminal decides to harm me or take away my guns. At which point it becomes a very tough defining statement that I may offer up resistance with those same firearms.
Same as I wont need the First, unless someone tries to prevent me from practicing my religion, forcing theirs on me, or preventing my free speech. At that point...I will use the Right granted me by the 2nd.
Much like a fire extinguisher or a seat belt...I dont need either until the moment I do.

With the 2nd Amendment graven in stone (not simply a pesky "suggestion")....I may have no "need" of it until the moment I do, just like fire extinguishers and seat belts.
Having that 2nd Amendment well known and graven in stone.....helps prevent government from attempting to infringe the rest of the Constitution. It helps..doesnt guarentee prevention. The Great Cull will do just that after all the gun grabbers and mentally ill Leftwingers are killed and bulldozed into mass graves in the very very near future.

Well, it's mostly a historical curiosity, since those Miniature Rifle Clubs were started by Rudyard Kipling. It was their equivalent of junior DCM, or something like that.
I hope you don't expect it to be a fine shooter. It isn't worth a lot of work. Like all full-size Martinis, it has a very slow lock time and it would be more work than it's worth to make a special titanium or hollow firing pin. The trigger on those guns is creepy, and the lockup at the rear end of that long bolt mitigates against shooting tight groups. The smaller, target-shooting rimfire Martinis have a short bolt and they were finely finished to get a fairly tight lockup at the bolt face.
But it was a clever action, and one of historical importance.
It's been a while but I didn't think it was converted to rimfire. The later ones were, (I think) using an offset barrel bushing. But most of them were chambered for a small, pistol-sized centerfire made especially for the job. The mid-sized Australian Martini Cadet was made for still another cartridge, somewhat larger but still sub-caliber for a military rifle.
Anyway, it's a collector's item that's good for conversation.
It will be a challenge, especially offhand. But you'll have the coolest gun, anyway.
Remember Bob Richardson? (or was he on CompuServe?) I found a Martini Model 12 for him, a high-end rimfire target gun. He used it in small bore matches in California and he did great with it.
The guys at Navy Arms used to let me climb through their bins of imported British Martinis. That's how I found your MRC action. It was the only one out of hundreds. Hang on to it.
