A light .303 Martini "Muscat"
      22/03/10 11:29 PM

This is a little tame compared with some on the forums but I thought I would share it just the same. Of Belgian manufacture it's a .303 Bore Martini marked Muscat and it seems it was made for the Omanis. Anyway it looks like a light sporting carbine to me which is what attracted me to it:-












Complete with silver shield inletted into the bottom of the stock


The Muscat marking.


The bore is tight and will probably shoot .308 bullets well. However the rifling is different and appears deeper on one side of the land than the other almost like a rachet tooth? and the chamber is not quite the same as the British 303 even though they will chamber and fire the shoulder is more rounded so I keep a few cases segregated for it and have shot some GC lead 205 grain bullets through it. Interesting and I thought some of the members might like to see it.
