Get yourself some drill rounds and you can practice your "Mad Minute" and imagine yourself on the Condé Canal in 1914!

Thank you folks, took a while to find one that I was happy with and can't wait for it to arrive, but no mad minute with this one I'm afraid - it's a Deact so I don't think it'll chamber (I'll have to pretend). I'm looking into the world of live firers at the moment though as I'd love to have one (probably a Mk4) for range shooting.

Here's some pics, fresh out of the box, she looks to be in great condition for a 101 year old

Welcome thoughts on the GR cross flags marking - looks like an I not a P - but could be worn or weak impression? Also, the stock has a C - was this a size? Pictures with various other markings, if anyone can pick out anything interesting much appreciated.

The "C" is not a size. The size should be in the heel of the butt.
