Moved from the end of my thread on gras rifle is my 1897 martini enfield artillery carbine.
Since posting before i have learnt that they were approved for conversion in 1895 to use up stocks of now outdated martini henry R111.They were similar to martini metford mk111 artillery carbine mk111.
They were issued with cleaning rod untill they were abolished in 1899 this one has its rod channel so i am looking for one.
The bayonet is lee metford mk11 1888 and were approved for fitting to this rifle.
Butt disc looks like it might be special reserve cameronian volunteers of 1901 but i need confirmation.Please add more info if you know.
Colin.
