Buckstix, I like what you did for the front sight. That is a great idea for a somewhat common problem with vintage rifles.


Thanks. I used the copper from a 41 rim-fire cartridge. Its nice and thin and easy to shape.




Now I know what to do for my Martini!
Shoots 5"high at 25 yards getting 1215fps.
I use a full service charge of 85gn 2Fg BP muzzle measures 0.465".
I'm hoping it slugs up enough as my mould casts 0.465", perhaps I need a tighter fit at the throat?
Sorry to hi jack this thread!
