Martini Tanner

feeds@yuku.com (Fabian23) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:52:40 GMT

What can anyone tell me about this rifle:

It loosely follows pattern of rifle submitted by Mr Martini for the Martini-Henry trials, but is in 10,4RF, it has the siding trigger safety and a bayonet mount. The writing on the receiver apparently reads MARTINI TANNER, à Frauenfeld, Suisse, MARTINI'S PATENT, which I find a curious mix of languages.

Just a nice...

Im looking to buy a SIG P 210 22 LR conversion kit so I can practice/target shoot 22 caliber with one of my SIG P 210 pistols.

What is a fair price now a days for a SIG P 210 22 LR conversion kit????

Red canevasit base magazine: true or fake?

feeds@yuku.com (fausto) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:57:27 GMT

Hello friends,
some years ago I got at Lausanne gunshow a mint Parabellum 1906/29 magazine with red canevasit base (stiff price!!). BTW I got it from a world-known collector-dealer and usually a reliable and honest guy. It is mint, as I said, but lacks the usual "P" (Paillard St. Croix) manufacturer marking on the back-bottom of the magazine. Now the question and the request of help: as far as you know, these red canevasit base magazines (as well as those with brown or black...

...in a good way!

I fired 14 rudimentarily transformed rimfire 10,4x42R cartridges through my 1851/67. First time at 50m I got 86/100 so I'm very pleased. Extraction is very very weak. The cartridge just gets backed out slightly and needs to be pulled the rest of the way manually or sometimes the extractor rides over the cartridge rim, but that may be to do with the rim diameter of the reformed brass. Another slight problem is the .22 blanks sometimes get torn by the...

Very Interesting SP 47/8 Accessory?

I recently picked up an early SIG SP 47/8 brochure from Gun Broker. It is entitled "The automatic pistol Neuhausen SP 47/8 SIG." Based on the serial number of the SP 47/8 pictured within, P50032, I would estimate the brochure was published around 1950. I cannot...
