Re: 1878 Martini Henry mud puppy

You take you chances with Numrich Martini Parts and SARCO also...they don't know models and they don't types. The parts you get may be for a MH or for an ME or a Greener. They may have come from a commercial, a military or a KP Martini.

Re: WTB-Rocking horse droppings

SARCO would not be very high up on my list of places to look for parts like this. Even Gunparts. Now if they have a box of olde left over "whatzit parts, I might like to go through the parts and see what I could find.

Re: WTB-Rocking horse droppings

I don't think any one is going to have MK ni Martini sliding saftey parts just sitting around waiting for me to come along. If these parts are to be found, I believe the parts as going be laying i...
