In this video we take a Martini-Henry rifle from the original "untouched" condition in which it was put into storage nearly 100 years ago to a clean, functional rifle that is completely safe to shoot after a couple of safety checks. This video is fairly close to real time and it is a long one, but there is a lot to cover when dealing with antique firearms such as these.

One of the big moments in my gun hobby was to be allowed to walk around the warehouse where these guns were stored at Atlanta Culterly. It was as big as two football fields with 20 foot ceilings. It was packed from floor to ceiling with every kind of gun England ever gave or sold to India and Nepal. There were Brown Bess muskets and 1853 Enfields, and a dozen lessor known models. There were dozens of cannons. There was over two million guns in that warehouse. They were selling these guns through Atlanta Cultlery and by mail order. In the back of the warehouse there was a 8 ft long work bench With a small steam cleaning machine and the usual gunsmithing tools. One guy did all the work. An order would come in and the guy would pull a gun off the rack. He would begin by steam cleaning the bat-poop and grease off the gun. Then he would remove the lock and barrel and steam clean the stock again and let it dry while he cleaned and oiled the metal parts. Then he reassembled the gun and boxed it up for shipping. It took him about 40 minutes per gun. It was amazing beyond words. Thanks for all you do. John Davis Jax Fl

@britishmuzzleloaders 8 лет назад

+Iraqveteran8888 It's really not too bad... Most of the stuff I have had for a very long time. Longer than I have been making videos, for sure. In order to put a bit of historical flair into the clips, I have had to augment what I have with a few bits.. namely the upper body stuff.. the doublet, the frocks and such. So I suppose that if I were to go out and buy it all now, yes, it would set me back a bit... the jackets are mostly from India and what they lack in exact detail, the make up for in being rather reasonably priced. What kind of stuff would you be looking at, should the spirit move you to include such things into your channel? (or have I read your post in the wrong context?)

I have an 1887 Enfield just like yours that I got about 2 years ago. Glad I found this video! Watching it has inspired me to resume restoring it (unfortunately had to get a new stock set and having to carve and cut on the forearm to fit it kinda scared me). Finally grew a pair and started carving while I watched this again and I've got it partially fitted. Just need to fit the reinforcement plate on the forestock and order a few missing screws, etc.

When I was 9 years old (1960's), my best friend of the time had his grandfather's Martini Henry, kept in the garden house. I don't know if it was deactivated, but the loading mechanism worked I remember. Great to see one getting the TLC it deserves! All the best, Rob

Great film Eric. You got me about talked into buying one of these! Having taken apart lots of things with boogered up screw heads in my time (I used to get handed all the project pieces of students who had stripped off bolt heads etc, back in my automotive teaching days), I found the use of an impact screwdriver to be highly advantageous. Good hollow ground bits are a must-like you said already. alot of times, a little smack or shock to those seized up threads does the trick. Of course, there's Kroil penetrating fluid and a little heat from a propane torch will sometimes break things loose. I wish there was a way I could look at one of those things before I buy it sight unseen though. You are a bad person Eric, talking guys like me into buying more guns! Thank You!!

I am a fairly new subscriber, but find it extremely entertaining and educational, even though it relates to laws and opportunities that would never exist over the here. The Rorke's Drift (Zulu) reference has a particular interest for me, being Welsh, as many were of the 24th Foot: later the South Wales Borderers and now the Royal Regiment of Wales. I look forward to watching many more of you broadcasts!

Back in the mid 70's, I saw a few of the 577/450 rifles on the shelf at a local dealer. These were British used guns, and were in excellent condition. At the time they were priced well out of my range, and no ammo was then available. They were too nice to leave on the wall. fast forward 40+ yrs, and I found the Nepal Hoard on the market, and got a good serviceable rifle for $400, which was now far more affordable than the $140. asked for those back so long ago. Enjoyed your videos about case forming, and loading of the cartridge, so every year, I take it to the place up North, so the young ones in our family can have the chance to fire a piece of history. Everyone loves the thing.

I'm sure that this will sound terribly stupid to you but would the (careful) application of Break Free to the old crudded up screws be a good idea? For that matter would not soaking the crudded barreled action in a tub of Break Free be advisable? I became a believer in Break Free when I was in the Army, in fact my Armored Cav Troop commander at Ft. Knox, KY introduced it to the Army and received an award for his doing so, We would come out of the field or back from gunnery (or both) and soak ALL our personal and dismountable crew served weapons, some times for days depending on how crudded up they were, in barrels full of Break Free. Hell, we even used it to clean the 105mm gun tubes on our M60A1 tanks, Anything we used Break Free on came out looking like new money. Having said all that I also realize we are talking about some pretty old metallurgy and wood here. I use Break Free to clean and lube all my (modern) firearms these days so I'm just curious...Would it be a bad thing? Or a good thing when planning the cleaning and restoration to shooting condition a Martini-Henry or any such weapon of similar vintage/type?

Excellent video on the Martini.

All I need to do right now is find a rear sight, a buttplate and a rear barrel band, and I'll be good to go. That's the hard part.

†_Whexican_† I'm inly rank 14 on scout but I'm under 10 for assault and Support - at 8 with support but like 6 with assault - still stuck with getting the ribeyrolles cause of those 20 headshot I need but the sjerogen or whatever it's called is slowly helping my brother ace up to 10

Enjoying the video immensely, yes. A suggestion on the recoil plate in the forestock: Clean the underside of the plate where the corrosion is. Clear out the corrosion that accumulated from the plate that is on the stock seat. Use J.B. Weld to repair the underside of the plate and if necessary use Plastic wood to restore the seat for the plate in the forestock. But I wouldn't go any farther in repairing this beautiful and old tool.

Just got a short lever one from IMA. What works for me is to put all the metal parts with whatever your cleaner of choice is into a 4’ foot plastic planter box. Cost about $4-5 at Home Depot. All the metal parts and the receiver and barrel fit nicely. Gives you plenty of room to clean and scrub.

Long time viewer here. Eric, I don't know if you look at comments on old videos, but this is by far one of the best instructional videos out there. I wish you'd do more like this for old milsurps. I finally got around to cleaning up my Mk IV using this video, and everything was on point. The rifle looks great...thanks!

God i love this gun in Battlefield 1 and outside of the game. The noise it makes firing is satisfying and the that little cling when you eject the shell is super satisfying.

People here need to realize that if they purchase one of these "untouched" versions, they will NOT get one in this condition. This is a hand picked, one in a thousand Martini. I've seen many of these and never seen a stock even close to this condition. Just beware, the chance of receiving one of these in the mail and being on the range after two hours of cleaning, is NOT happening. After three of these, ask me how I know... However, this is by far the best tutorial you can find on YT for this model.

When I see these types of guns I wonder who had them personally and who they killed

@tamnickyle 7 лет назад

The Redcoats used this gun in the late 1800s, mainly for the Anglo-Zulu and Boer wars.

I like restoration videos, please make more of these. The guns don't have to be antique, just so long as the before and after picture is dramatic. Heck, you could restore an old rusty hi-point and I'd watch it.
