    What a pity he doesn't shoot them. They are great fun, smelly and noisy. What more could a Victorian era BP shooter desire?

    3 band portugeuse
    3 band nepalese (rare one as this extracts cases after firing ) usually nepalese ones you have to roger them out due to chamber issues.
    also have a 2 bander which i think is a navy issue....all mk3 version

    edit.....also a civilian 2 band sporter....off top of my head i think its a mk 2 with a safety device fitted.
    its put away as someone rebarrelled it and it just doesnt fit right.....about 1/16 of a turn lol
