Gone and done it
22/01/03 12:22 PM

Well I've gone and done it. Went to Melbourne to buy a wall hanger Martini Henry 577/450 and instead bought one that can still shoot.

I intended to buy a full wood military style rifle, clapped out just for the wall, but instead bought a Rosier / Trantor civilian sporting rilfe which should be able to be used.

So now I will have the "joy" of learning how to load up the .577/.450 rounds with blackpowder and the rest.

(Actually I saw an article I think in Man Magnum when I was in Zim on the very subject of loading the .577/.450 and its trials and tribulations. Antone have a copy of that magazine??)

Will supply some pics and keep you informed on the (expectantly slow) progress.

Should be a great fun gun if I get it working.
