An Acquired Taste
      26/12/16 08:44 AM

Rather difficult getting to the shooting range now, too much snow. But I did celebrate Christmas by testing a couple of loads in the backyard.

The rifle is an improved martini, also known as a free state martini or a majuba martini. More properly, it is a Westley Richards 1869 patent martini.

Some uncultured people say they are ugly. Someone said "they are an acquired taste". Not me, I liked the looks of this one the first time I saw it. Wal Winfer has a whole chapter on them in Volume 4 of British Single Shot Rifles.
