Midland Gun Co. register..?
      #230534 - 26/05/13 10:18 PM

I just bought a Midland DB in .475 3 1/4 Straight with an exstra barrel in .280 NE flanged..

I must be a set since it has identical markings and number.

I would Place it around WW1 but certain knowledge would be nice..

Do any of you know if the ledgers still excists..?

Do any of you have experience in loading the .280 flanged, the rifle came with die-sets in both calibers.

Pondoro,
I have had a Rodda in .475 3 1/4" for 20 years . Send me a "PM" and I'll give you my load for that one . Can't help you with the .280 .
Robert

I recall reading in an article in Shooting Sportsman magazine several years back that the records were destroyed due to a V1 rocket hitting their factory during WWII.

Uniquely superlative rifles in the Scottish tradition.

Didn't think that the V1 had enough range to reach the Midlands. Most hit Kent and London.
