Just shot mine for the first time today. Afghan bringback. Put two rounds of Remington and two rounds of the circa 1890s Kynoch. One of the Kynoch rounds had a quick click-bang, but the other was...

Picked up my last Afghan rifle before coming home. It's a Martini Metford .303 made at the Jangalak Factory in Kabul in 1894. Vern, if you're out there, i think this rifle puts to rest the question...

All, latest rifle from Afghanistan. This is a beatuful weapon with great rifling and a light trigger (relative for a Martini)- Think i have one more to get before im done. Looking at an 1875 BSA...

Hi all,

Not exactly sure if this is the right place to ask- I'm normally in the Martini pages, but I had the opportunity to acquire this shotgun- black powder, percussion cap, muzzle loader,...
