Martini-Henry Francotte Take Down with mystery ammo
      03/07/13 12:03 AM

Here in Finland is for sale Francotte-made Martini-Henry rifle with mystery caliber. The seller told that the only markings in barrel are "Frangonette B. 7 m/m L.B". He told that the cartridge is rimfire type and case lenght is 30 mm. He said also that Swiss alp troopers has used this rifle in the beginning of 20. century. Does anybody have any idea of the caliber ?
