Hi Guys, not sure if this is the correct place for this... I have lots of loading questions the last week! I am looking for powder thoughts on the following: 45acp,38super, and 9mm i want the most accurate, best shooting, cleanest power out there! I have typically used Winchester 231, Bullseye, Tite...

Yes, I refinished her up... there are a few threads floating around with the entire project start to finish. Just look em up:

Martini Project 1 and Martini Project 2

Finally after about 3 months I was able to get out to the range. I took my BSA Martini MKII out... What an amazing rifle! I knew she would be accurate, but I have to say... This is the best 5 shot group I have ever made... I misspoke on the tag as it was 100 meters (not yards). Anyway... All I can s...

How did you polish out the rust spots and keep the printing on the steel so sharp? Hey James... I seriously have well over 30 hours of flat hand sanding on the second "light pattern" Martini (which was the one that was far worse). I took a flat metal block and start sanding (John Harrison...

Hey gang, I wanted to share the the second BSA Martini Project I took on (mentioned it in my project I post)! Again, these are my favorite .22 rifles ever made... anyone who has shot one will attest to the quality and accuracy of them. With that said, this was a lot more work than the first one... h...

A few folks asked for pics of the full rifle... enjoy

Been on the hunt for a MKIII for years... If anyone over there has one that they are selling at a discounted price, just holler at me!

Any pics of the wood being restored?

Thank you very much for sharing!

No pics of wood being worked on... Some secrets gotta stay close to the vest:)

Hey guys, I decided to start a thread on a BSA Martini MKII rifle that I fully restored! This rifle was actually the first Martini I picked up, have two now. Its a full length MKII that was in need of some real love! As you will see in the first pictures I am going to post, the whole rifle needs to ...

I am in the market for a benchrest scope that is going on a BSA MKII I was looking at a Weaver T36 or the Sightron SII Big Sky 36x42. I am also considering a Sightron S3 6-24×50... Does anyone have thoughts on choice? Range is going to be 50-100 yards... Most of the old timers I am shooting BR rimfi...

I am one of Joes clients and consider Joe a friend! I was merely asking if anyone here had used one of these due to the nature of his handguns. I am sure his conversion knocks it out of the park:) basically if he is claiming something, I would no doubt believe it!

Yes, the PH25C sight can be moved as stated above. So the real question is... if I find an adaptor, is it worth getting a Gehmann for it or, should I just leave it as it is right now? I have never used a Gehmann Iris before but, they look impressive. I have shot the standard PH25C sights, they seem ...

Martin Catley wrote:That is correct but no idea where you would get one where you are!

That these just screw in or you need an adaptor... or it depends on what Gehmann iris you have?

Hey guys, I was looking at an acquaintance's BSA Martini with PH sights on it. The rear had a Gehmann rear iris on it though... does anyone know if that is normal? I have read there is an adaptor and some say you just screw it in the PH rear. Anyway care to school me on this?

Thanks,
B

Thanks for the replies guys... can you tell me if I am able to fine the following two things at? First is the actual "Lever" I was talking about. Its on most of the Freeland rifles but, have seen it added to a standard rifle. Second is the butt plate. I am missing that piece. Thanks! http:...

Hey gents, I recently nabbed a BSA Martini MKII and am looking for some help. First, I have thought get about trying to put a few Freeland accessories on it... Lever, hook, etc... Anyone have any idea where to find that stuff? Secondly, I am considering a new stock and forend... Talked to a few stoc...

I see Joe is now releasing his .22 conversions. Here is what I have heard on the steel coversions... Steel scope mount for use with a microstyle dot.
