    Martini Enfield & Target

    Two weeks ago I took the Martini out for a trial of the faux-Mk VI ball I had made up. Glad to have her along, too.
    Winds were blowing small branches and bits of corn stalk all over the place----tried to push my car off the road a couple times, too. Of course, they were goiing directly across the line of fire....mostly. The firing line might be in still air, while the weeds at the target boards would be laid over flat----a typical Plains Zephyr.
    At 100 yards the modern stuff could not cope, but the Martini and 180 grain slugs saved the day.

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    You've just got to shoot a couple of the Martini Enfield conversions to 303Brit to appreciate how well they really shoot.
    Nice rifle and targets by the way.
    I have a Khyber Pass knock off in 303Brit and it shoots just as well. I'm always amazed at these rifles.
