Hello list,

Does anyone here have ay experience replacing a Viennese style action with 
an English action)?

I have a very massive, full plate 1890 7" Ehrbar in very decent shape, 
except for a thouroughly damaged action. I wonder if it would not be a good 
opportunity to replace it with an English one, if the technical obstacles 
are not too great. 

I am not quite sure what this involves, but I hear it is/has been done.

How readily available are Viennese action parts if this idea turns out to 
be a dead end? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
