Instructions For Serjeant-Instructors of Militia, Yeomanry, and Volunteers In Regard to The Care, Inspection &c Of Martini-Henry, Martini-Metford, and Martini-Enfield Arms 1896

With a small professional army fully stretched in defending the British Empire at its zenith in 1896, home defence fell on locally raised County Yeomanry and Militia units. This brief booklet is designed to acquaint these volunteers with the use of the rifles coming into use at the end of the 19th century. Contains naming of parts; cleaning; stripping and assembling the rifle; easing springs and replacing strikers and mainsprings in the field. A must for all students of ballistic weapons.

Cu o mica armata profesionista intinsa complet in apararea Imperiului Britanic la apogeu in 1896, apararea locala a cazut asupra unitatilor judetene de Yeomanry si Militie. Aceasta scurta brosura este conceputa pentru a familiariza acesti voluntari cu utilizarea pustilor care vor intra in uz la sfarsitul secolului al XIX-lea.
