    Franz sodia martini zeller single shot question about the breech?

    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. Attachment 23435Attachment 23434Attachment 23433

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    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 Swissicon rifle board, the guys ate ASSRA.

    I think Patrick Chadwick who passes through here every once in a while is in Germanyicon and he
    might have some source for you there,

    Good luck.

    Question Still trying to identify the F S custom action

    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
