308) Cut the barrel/chamber arrangement so the end of the blank sticks out when it's chambered (this will make sure it won't fire a live round with the possibility of doing any real damage to anyone or anything. 308 (blanks are more plentiful) This could likely be done by just running a chambering reamer into the 8mm mauser chamber.
Cut the barrel that's in it down so there is just enough material there to chamber a cartridge, I highly recommend rechambering the gun to. If you are looking to make a line thrower, I suggest replacing the barrel with a piece of thick wall tube say 1/2" bore with a 3/4 OD. Two, unless you have experience with this, you may blow up the gun. Two reasons, first, you will pretty much destroy your thrower. I imagine that seals in Iceland waters are no different than ones in Canadian at certain seasons they will quickly sink after being shot, unless they are quickly gaffed or harpooned.Įgad! Don't try using a bullet trap for a line throwing gun. I think that the Greener, and similar launchers are more intended to afix a line to the animal, to facilitate recovery, rather than to kill it. I think that this was a shotgun type powder, but do not know this for a certainty. The trick would be to determine a safe charge for loading the blank launching cartridges.303 grenade launching blanks used "Ballistite" powder. There should be a swivel ring for the line, so that the line trails directly behind the dart, otherwise the tug of the line could pull the harpoon off course. I don't know why a parallel sided spiggot could not be fitted to the muzzle, and a hollow tail put on the dart. Imagine holding up your hands while your mother would wind yarn off them into a ball. Used a 2 armed line holder mounted under the barrel. The British called such weapons " Pass-made rifles".The Greener Martini was a light harpoon gun. The chief manufacturers were the Adam Khel Afridi, who lived around the Khyber Pass. Their weapons were of a poorer quality than those made by Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, but accurately copied down to the proof markings. The Martini–Henry was copied on a large scale by North-West Frontier Province gunsmiths. Early in 20, United States Marines recovered at least three from various Taliban weapons caches in Marjah. It was seen in use by some Afghan tribesmen as late as the Soviet invasion. The Mark IV Martini–Henry rifle ended production in 1889, replaced by the Lee–Metford, but it remained in service throughout the British Empire until the end of the First World War. There was also an 1877 carbine version with variations that included a Garrison Artillery Carbine, an Artillery Carbine (Mark I, Mark II, and Mark III), and smaller versions designed as training rifles for military cadets.
There were four main marks of the Martini–Henry rifle produced: Mark I (released in June 1871), Mark II, Mark III, and Mark IV. Though the Snider was the first breechloader firing a metallic cartridge in regular British service, the Martini was designed from the outset as a breechloader and was both faster firing and had a longer range.
