Looks to me that your Lee-Metford has been adapted for hunting or sporting. The stock does not appear like that in original configuration. I like your Martini Henry rifle, very fun rifle to shoot!
Resize to about 100k and then attach to e-mail, I will send my e-mail with PM....Is that OK? I really would like to see some pics of that reenactment....
Who would have carried the Martini? By '98 it was obsolete.
I thought you guys carried the Mauser exclusively, though I guess there was never a wholly reliable arms pipeline to Europe and there were never enough to go round.
As I understand the British Lee-Metford was having serious teething troubles in it's transition from black powder to smokeless and it's accuracy was pretty lousy.
Awesome stuff , officially envious my friend. Great collection.

what about the SMLE in your call of duty 2 video? Is that boer war, or WW1?

It was called the "pom-pom' for the sound it made. It was a virtual scaled up Maxim machine gun. I'd kill to see one in a museum but I never have.

@MrHaveGun Yet he won 2 wars and put down a highly skilled insurgency which is something your countrymen fail completely at doing.

The advantage to a Boer war reenactment is that the whole family can take part! Hee! Hee!
OK, maybe that wasn't so funny.
