The recoil pad is a bit of a dog and needs replacing but can stay for the moment. A nice solids red recoil pad to look the part.

Some of these rifles in Australia have been rebarrelled as well. The .218 Bee's and similar are usually made from the small ring Martinis. One of these would be very nice as well - oneday.

When in Jo'burg I admired the Martini's and old Mausers hanging in the walls in restaurants and I thought they were great.
