I've shot a number of similar rifles. Mostly Martinis but a Bland comes to mind also.

I can't see pics here, but I did see them on AR.


Hello BrentD,
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the case is straight - no taper at all. Extraction can be sticky when loading smokeless. I assume it was originally intended for black powder. Very Long to get more powder behind the bullet. Not sure why you can't see the pics ... they show up OK on my screen.
