MINIATURE AMMUNITION Co.

Converted Martini-Henry actioned Target Rifle


In his book "Rifle and Carton" (1910-1914) Ernest H.Robinson wrote of this rifle

" The Olympic rifle has a good many first places and championships to its credit. It was one of the first, if not the first,

of the 'heavy barrel' miniature rifles in this country, and is made by Greener and sold by the Miniature Ammunition Company.

It is a high priced rifle but is beautifully finished, and every rifle sent out has been shot and zeroed by an expert,

so that ist comes to the user with the very highest credentials.

The head of the "M.A.C." is a well-known shot" [Ed: albeit unknown to Rifleman at this point.]

The next two images can be rotated and zoomed, either as initially loaded or full-screen for higher definition.

It may be that the particularly heavy target rifle barrel is not overly obvious in these photographs,

but comparison with another similar rifle will give an indication.

See the equivalent London gunsmiths, C.W. Andrews, finely finished Martini conversion.
