TOPIC:

I am a shooter and restorer of weapons from the flint era(s) to around 1914. I am fortunate enough to own a Boer Mauser with the previous owner's initials carven on the butt and one and a half Guedes rifles - one ZAR marked example has had it's barrel removed (?????) and the other lacks ZAR markings but is 'sporterised' in a Boer manner.

I also shoot Martini Henrys in both 303 and 450 as well as my Long Lee and hope to learn a little more about both Boer conflicts and the weapons used by all parties.
