    Martini Henry 577-450 carbine

    Has anyone got a complete un wrecked firing pin for a martini henry they could sell me, as the one in my carbine has had the firing pin end ground off.

    I don't have a clue as to the mark the date on the side of the action is 1877 if that is any help.

    On the right hand side of the action in front of the cocked indicator there should be a number in numerals ie I /II / III / IV / V That is mark 1,2,3,4, or 5 , Probably a MkII with that date.

    Unless of course it's a commercial one, so may not have a number.

    Many Thanks for your help.
    It is apparently a 577-450 MK1 Martini Henry Cavalry carbine it is dated 1877 on the right hand side of the action.

    If your ever stuck you can drill a hole in the end and solder an old bit of drill bit in there, grind it round and it works as a fix.
