Some of the Martini-Enfield AC IIs had an earlier life. Mine has right side markings dated 1893 and indicate that it was an infantry rifle, caliber unknown.

I have looked and can not find the contact for the wire. I will keep looking but it was a computer ago and hoped I had kept it.
Cheers,
Laurie

Thanks anyway, Laurie, I appreciate you trying! That's one of the finest things about this site, that is, the willingness to help without most of the bickering seen on other sites. Will try other sources.
Regards, Joe

J D, drop me a line and I can give you a phone number for a guy here in Oregon who has rebuilt a number of old external adjustment scopes for his collection of single shot target rifles. He must have a source for the wire.

I just bought a Vernor Gipson Varmint rifle (https://www.gunbroker.com/item/743340134) on Gun Broker at a basically derisory price. Exactly what it is chambered in is a bit uncertain.

Probably chambered for the .22 Varminter cartridge, but not marked as such because Jerry Gebby had the nomenclature locked up. I have never seen a rifle not barreled or built by Gebby marked ".22 Varminter".

Eightbore is dead right. C.S. Landis, "Woodchucks and Woodchuck Rifles," 1951, p. 309:

"the .220-250 Gipson will use the .22 Varminter ammunition made up by the late J.B. Smith, and the rifle is chambered to much the same dimensions as the Varminter."
