    Martini Henry action strength

    I picked up a very pretty custom Martini recently. I believe it’s a MK II based on the thumb rest, but it’s almost devoid of markings except for a gunmakers’ number. It’s chambered in 38-55. There is or was a Buffalo Bore load that was pretty warm compared to the black powder or smokeless...

    Distance to sight in an optic on a 22 rifle

    The height of the scope/rings/bases plays a role here with such short MPBR. I have friends that use those hollow bases that allow one to use a scope and iron sights. I really dislike those for a general rifle. They’re fine for shooting over bait at a known distance. I like 25 yard and then again...

    Wanted 6,5x68 (Schuler) Ammunition To USA

    HWL, you are correct sir. I planned to just let this thread nap. It’s a Schuler sold combo gun sold under the guise of 16g/6.5x68, but someone on the German gun board found the error. It indeed is a 6.5x58R Sauer chamber. I’ve found 16 rounds with another 4 pieces of brass. Hopefully I can find...

    Kawasaki H1 (500cc two stroke triple). Long since passed over that greasy rainbow bridge. Rest in ring-a-ding dings.

    Another Poor Man’s Double

    I think my favorite part of this idea is that Chaszel offers these in so many different cartridges. You can have a double rifle in a dozen different cartridges or a combination gun depending on your particular situation at the moment. I really hope they regulate well. Such a cool idea
