    Nothing marmite about them, would love one!

    Got a service mk2 in .25 which I still shoot occasionally, very fond of it and a definite keeper

    Great rifles, clever mechanism and beautifully made, but for utility, I would rather a Bsa Standard

    I agree,I find them very much Marmite.As a design I find them completely devoid of anything aesthetically appealing,but I acknowledge their historical relevance.

    A famous trader once called them a 'long barrelled Webley pistol with a stock'

    I would have no interest in owning one I’m afraid. Too fugly
    Morally flawed
