If you have an interest in these classic rifles, Colin Greenwood, new book "The Classic British Rook and Rabbit Rifle",provides a comprehensive history of these rifles during the period 1880-1930. The book illustrates the full range of rifles[ Martini actions excepted] The book also seeks to identify the origional manufacturing sources of these fine rifles.
Ammunition and reloading of same is also reviewed. The book is available from Gunnerman Books , Price $45 [ Tel 248-608-2856]
A very good resource on a neglected subject.

A rifle used for sport, cull and tablefare by laird/keeper/crofter alike.

This rifle was traced back to a vicar in the north of England, by one of the better known Dan'l Fraser collectors.
