    New one for me: Martini-Henry refurb

    OK folks, I'll admit, I've been absent from this forum for a while; sorry about that. Will try to do better in 2013.

    Anyways, I've been spending time on a Martini Henry over the past few months. This one started as a rust pile.

    I didn't take pics before this stage, the reassembled rifle minus butt stock. But trust me, it was ugly.


    Then I needed a butt stock. Found one which had been converted from short lever to long lever. But I needed a short lever butt stock, so back to short it went.






    I haven't shot it yet, but it's at least looking better now than it did when I got it about a year ago...

    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.
