The mag for the stirling is approx. 80 bucks and may need fitting, but then you have a going 22 worth maybe 200+? Or the lads have something to wander about shooting pesky varmints.

It might be worth you looking in on the Martini Henry page on face book. The Carbines were cut like that when taken out of military service. Are there any brass discs on it on the wood or wide arrow marks point to point that look like stars. If cleaned up it could be worth a few quid

Nah, still got them. One of my sons is keen to start hunting deer, so maybe a starter hunting rifle. The other has started mentioning vegetarianism...! :huh::huh::huh::huh:

Maybe the second will come to his senses when the first one gets the BBQ cranking. I always count deer as a vegetarian dish anyway, ... I've never seen any chewing on a dead rabbit.
