    Martini 22 SMRC

    Good evening all,

    Took the day off from work and went poking around some gunshops. Found a martini that was too good to pass up. It began life in 1893 as a, I.C. 1 carbine. Later, it was converted for use by the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs. Now in 22 rimfire. Rifle is beautifully finished. Heading to the range with it on saturday. Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

    The Martini is always a ton of fun. I have a Cadet conversion in .222R that shoots like stink . You can learn a lot mucking around with these old guns.

    I've got two: an Enfield 1879 M-H MkIII converted in 1897 to a M-E MkI Artillery Carbine in .303, and then ca. 1910-1912 by Greener to .22 for the (UKicon) NRA; the other is an Enfield M-H MkIV converted by London Small Arms (no date) for the SMRC. Both have military furniture, with the LSA conversion having some nice checkering on the wrist and forend. They both shoot great and handle whatever I feed them, from Colibris to Stingers and everything in between, with good results from (mostly CCI) standard speed (1070fps) fodder. I'm particularly happy that they're happy with the cheap stuff--it all works. Great conversation starters/head-turners at the range and of course everybody wants to try them. Lots of fun. Shoot yours and enjoy it!
