Ahhh Robert, nearly another year over with the urchins. Um, I mean budding minds.

Thanks J.D. for the personal experience. I was actually trying to decide between the .420 and .470 diameter as a point to work from.
The diameter of the reciever works for both, but...
As far as the Martini, is the problem with the barrel or with the breech? Is it a bolt thrust issue?

I am actually looking to completely unsupported barrels like Contenders and Encores as baselines. The barrel will be threaded into the reciever but I still wanted to have a minimum to work from. Knowing the hoop stress info would let me know how much insurance I was working with.
