First is an "Afghan Crest" Cavalry Carbine in .303





And an 1883 LSA Volunteer Pattern






Both guns came from Afghanistan. The LSA hasn't been touched yet, so it's still pretty filthy. But I couldn't resist showing it off.

thats awesome, love the crest on that afghan, im a sucker for a nice crest. have you shot it or plan to?

i just got one of those IMA long lever MKIV a little while ago, and restored a gahendra a couple of years ago, still havent fired either but im really loving these martini-henry rifles, of course it helps that i love the movie zulu heh.

I have not, actually that one has been sold. But more like it will be coming.

Matt

Variations on these seem endless...I'm on the verge of getting an untouched IMA Martini

You have to shoot them that,s most of the fun to feel that recoil and smell the smoke then you really know what its like to stand in that thin red line.

Nice looking guns
