I've been reading a lot lately about a cache of British Martini-Henry rifles in .577-.450 caliber which were found in Nepal . . . supposedly, they're in decent condition (for 100+ year old rifles) and, after a bit of cleaning up, are functional, and OK to shoot with appropriate ammo. (Kind of like an old Trapdoor Springfield.)
I've been a bit interested in these ancient breechloaders since I first saw the movie Zulu in my youth. These Nepalese rifles probably never got near RSA, but still make for an interesting piece of history.
So . . . has anyone at THR had experience with these rifles? Comments, impressions, and recommendations would be most welcome.
