Have you got one of these? www.centerfiresystems.com/ Every time I see a Martini I think of the movies Zulu Dawn and Rorke's Drift! Eat your heart out, Ndenway!

Crap Dan. I've been kinda watching them on SOGs website, waiting on them to come down in price. Now centerfire has them at my "trigger" price. I'm kinda blowing my slush fund as of late. Hhhmmmmmm....1903A3 drill rifle or this????? Maybe both. Don't these shoot the older black powder .303? If so, they wont stand up to current or milsurp .303, right? Can't guarantee small parts? I'll bet its hard to find parts for these. Oh yeah..............................ZULUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
eh..........those arn't shooters, they're wall hangers. makes think of stanley barker and michale cain in "zulu", "company prepare to afix bayonets, aaaaaafffffffiiiiiiiiixxxxxx bayonets....kerchunk!" "front rank........fire, mid rank.............fire, rear rank.........fire" "if it was a miracle, it was a box of .45short henry and a bayonet with some guts behind it"
I thought all the old martini/henrys were blackpowder .45 cal wrapped brass/steel case head rounds at approx 1100fps?, that once fired only the case head came back out. |
Some guys have Martini 22 LR target guns. About 15 or so years ago, they were brought into the country and sold for around $250. They were made in the early 1900s. From what I've seen, they are very accurate. I knew you'd remember that movie about Rorke's Drift.  It was called Zulu and not Rorke's Drift.  |
$200 is too much for "art" (wall hangers). I have no idea on the calibers. I just remembered that it was black powder. I wonder if you could get any ammo for them? Something that you could shoot once or twice just to say that you did
