Most fun thing you can do with your (very historic and very collectible, even altered) Mark II is get yourself a big batch of .45 Auto Rim brass and load it up to .455 specs, then head to the range. When you break the gun, you will find that it ejects empties and drops the live rounds back in. Just something to watch.

These are a BALL of fun.... and you're ready the next time those pesky Boers or Matabele start something!

The upgrade with the Mark II mainly was in the hammer nose. The Mark I had a curved, very slender firing pin with a very narrow tip. Not really the thing for thin, brittle caps. Caps got better and firing pins got fatter and all the problems disapeared.

FINE old gun. Worth a TON of money up here; where you are, still worth at least double. It just isn't FAIR to be able to buy that much fun (and history) so cheaply!

Have fun!
