Larry,
I have a few, a 218, two 357 supers, a 225 but the real fun gun is the 222R. You can get an Aussie to send you some brass. It is a 222 Remington with a rim that just happens to be the same size as a 38 spl / 357. You reload it with 222 dies and a 357 shell holder. It was designed specificly for the Cadet.

The 225 is the largest case diameter that will work in the Cadet barrel shank. I wanted to build one to see how it would work, it worked fine.

The little Bee would be pretty cool but the 221 version would require a hinged, spring loaded leg on one side of the extractor at least. There is a drawing design for the extractor on record or at least there was one.

The extractor / ejector is about the only part that needs to be purchased unless you have a lot of time on your hands. But it is easy to open it up and to weld if you need to close it up. It is a part that is rarely found even to purchase, at any price.

When you get to high pressure rounds you must put a bushing in so that the firing pin hole is reduced from its original BP requirement. At the same time the firing pin diameter must be reduced with a shoulder created that stops on the block and not the bushing. The little Martini has a very fast lock time so with a good trigger it is or can be very accurate.
