2-Gun Match: Enfield Jungle Carbine & Martini-Henry
Forgotten Weapons
•
16m
I have been wanting to bring my new (to me) No5 MkI Enfield "Jungle Carbine" out to a match, and chose this month's 2G-ACM to do it. In addition I am joined by Tom, who is shooting an original Mk IV Martini-Henry, complete with black powder .577-450 ammunition.
This was a three-stage match, but we chose to only film the two rifle stages (the third was pistol-only).
