[QUOTE="longarm, post: 870814, member: 47671"] Yes, I found out that apparently the Model 38 action had to be beefed up when chambered for the Fireball line of cartridges which wasn't economical to do. Also sometimes loaded rounds were too long for the ejection port if they were not fired when chambered, requiring that the bolt be removed with the loaded round. I still would much prefer the shorter Model 38 action for the .17 Fireball. Better still for my needs would be a repeater version of the Model 38 with beefed up lugs. [/QUOTE]
