Chris,

I have both a 12 and a 12/15. I have found that they seem to shoot best with middle grade ammo. The shoot OK with the cheap stuff, but excellently with good ammo. They are only marginally better with the really expensive match grade ammo.

The mentioned site got me interested in the BSA Martinis, as I have already two Lee Enfields trainers(veeeeeerrrrry precise rifels!!!!)
The number in P66907.
I wondered also about the No8 rearsight, but maybe I can get a nice PH7 somewhen.
I feel this Martini will not be lonesome for long :roll:
There is no lead in the butstock, the butstock itselv is verry heavy, will post some more pice later.
Tomorrow the rifle will be testet on the range.

I have a good No 7 sight and I need a number 8 swap?

Hi Tim,

how are you doing long time no speak.

Glad you made it to the new site.

My small frame Martini collection is growing too, hope to get some pictures up in the not too distant future. :D

Hello!

Sory for the big pics :oops:

The rifle is nearly sold, would rather like to buy a unmodified 12/15 or International instead.
