Greener Martini comparisons

Post by joseyclosey » Sun Mar 30, 2014 2:17 pm

Two of us in our club got together on Saturday for an impromptu competition with our .22 Martini conversions and as we had noticed quite a few differences in the two rifles, which were both W.W. Greener conversions, I thought a few pics of both rifles would be of interest.

At first glance they are very similar.

But on closer inspection we have a sleeved barrel and a crowned barrel.

Bayonet bar and different foresight.

Differing rearsights and woodwork/ hand grooves.

Knoxform re-profiled.

Oh, and the impromptu competition I hear you ask?


I got pipped by one point!

I was toying with the idea of making a scope rail for my cadet but I can not see a way of mounting one without drilling and tapping and I don't want to do that.
