    Martini AC MK2

    Hi all,

    A question for the group, I've got a particularly nice AC MK2 (see my 2017 thread below), I was planning to add her to my FAC and shoot her, but life has unfortunately got in the way and other more pressing shooting projects have taken my time.

    She's got an excellent bore, no repaired saw cut and is in perfectly serviceable condition, so, (with some regret), how much is she worth these days, considering the rarity of shootable examples, if I decide to sell her?

    I appreciate any feedback from knowledgeable Martini Milsurpers...

    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.

    Try asking over on the britishmilitariaforums. There is a separate martini forum and a lot of people over in your neck of the woods.

    Interesting update on my carbine, apparently it's been re-barreled with the rare barrel of a Martini Carbine Mk1.

    The front sight is apparently the give away. I would assume it's due to the typical saw cut deactivation of the original. This was clearly done a very long time ago however.

    Interesting, I would never have noticed personally...
