    Can't help you with the cylinder's capacity as I have seen them in several lengths, but can comment re the funnel. I still use mine. 137583 and in use. Chap on left holding rifle correctly,...

    My Dads No1 Mk3 holds pride of place in my cabinet, it was one of the BSA sporterised ones sold in the early 1950's. Dad was a "child of the depression" and his family did it very hard, he left...

    Greetings Bumblefoot and All, I've found the Lee Loader is ideal for neck sizing the .303 as it doesn't over size the neck. I prime them with a Lee hand tool. I have, in the interests of science...

    Suppose like getting back-kicked by a really big pig? I thought that too, for the full 10rd capacity and I agree with your comments on rapid fire. You'd need to put a compensator or muzzle brake...
