    Martini IC1 1888 dated Carbine value please

    Can any of the Martini experts on the forum please give me a ball park value for an 1888 dated IC1 Martini Carbine please? I'll also be needing the front trigger guard bolt!

    If the front trigger guard screw is the same as on the twelve bore I may be able to help you with that
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    Obsolete and no FAC required under Section 58(2) of the Firearms Act if held as a collectors item and not used. If you want to shoot them they need to go on your FAC.

    Trigger guard screw, £7 plus P&P, from Peter Dyson.
    I will give you a bottle of Scotch for it.

    An 1888 model is most likely to be a .303 & that is an fac job.

    If it was a .303 it would be on my FAC.
