Whilst we lack the game animals in Australia to justify building and shooting large calibre rifles, I get a lot of pleasure from my "Big Four"

Top to Bottom
1861 58cal Musketoon
1868 577 Sidner
1878 577/450 Alex Henry
1883 577/450 Martini Henry



Hold still varmint; while I plugs yer!
If'n I miss, our band of 45/70 brothers, will fill yer full of lead!

G'day, Mate!!!
Keep your eye peeled for a .395"-grooved barrel on a Martini, please. They are rumored to exist in
something like a "400 Nitro for Blackpowder 3-Inch." holycow

Your Alexander Henry 577/450 is The Cat's Meow.

Worth some money, eh?

I dream of one of those with a .395 barrel. thumb

Beautiful collection of rifles but, that Alexander Henry takes the cake!

And your genuine reason to the firearms registry for needing these cannons?

I just said I need a bigger cal. for bigger ferals. Well there are some big porkers about.

Bad Ass: My favorite, er, favourite, of the bunch is the Snider. Geez I wish I still had my old BSA Mark III with 1:48 five-groove barrel.
