Thread: Junk or not.

My accountant rang and after the usual regarding my tax. He says " I've got two old guns here for you one is the sort you load with a stick the other has a lever with an ammo belt and really big bullets. The lever won't move there a bit rusty the guy who owned them died 30yrs ago and they have benn lying under his house since then." Junk or not I'll find out on friday when I collect them. The muzzle loader could be anything I'm hopeful the lever may be a Martini-Henry 577-450.

Even it if they're rooted as a firearm they could still be restored cosmetically for wall hangers

Christmas has come early��

Fuk......thats way more than i get from my Tax accountant....sounds like a 'keeper'......

Ok what ya all reckon.

What a bummer they're like that! I'll give you $5 for the ammo

Sweet hand-chopper-off-er

So far I have only cleaned.

The Martini Henry is a Khyber pass gun but the decoration is solid silver.

What a shame they were just thrown under the house!

Great score all the same tho

That is AWESOME, you lucky bugger

No chance either is fireable?

If the action on the martini is ok you could re barrel the actions are fairly robust

Or clean them up, apply varnish and make wall hangers

With a bit more work both will go bang but I would be pulling the trigger with a long string. At this stage they will be wall hangers .

So the inside of the barrels are ok? Load the 577/450 with a SPANZ cartridge 60 grains over 85 got some brass if you wAnt
