Franz sodia martini zeller single shot question about the breech?

**william** · 05-23-2011 07:36 PM

I have most of a 1901 franz sodia custom single shot based on a martini zeller action. Unfortunately the breech block is missing. would anybody know which model I'm looking for? This action is modified to have no indicator, and a single extractor arm, not the double I've seen. I will try and up load the pics. Any info on the sight would also be appreciated. it's chambered to 8/48.

oh that is a shame. you are going to have a very difficult time getting a breech block duplicated. The likely hood of finding one os slim, very slim,

Try posting on the American Single shot board at ASSRA Forum - Index
and ask for help, Your best bet is to find a Swiss rifle board, the guys ate ASSRA.

I think Patrick Chadwick who passes through here every once in a while is in Germany icon

and he
might have some source for you there,

Good luck.

So having read with interest all the MH material, I sent for a Nepalese and was very pleased with the results. But when compared to the Franz, it was very different. So here is a side by side pic and maybe one of the knowledgeable guys out there will recoganize this action. Thanks for all your help. Bill
