    Honestly from the title I was expecting a Khyber Pass Martini-Henry with an extra long barrel.
    I had teams of security systems installers in A'Stan who knew I appreciated firearms. They went to the market and bought a Khyber-Pass Martini-Henry for me and of all things, stuck it in the APO mail system. Understandably (but unfortunately), it never arrived in Virginia.
     
    5 moa gun if I do my part.
    hey, 5 MOA is still 3.5' at 800yds...still more than accurate enough to be lethal..

    frankly, we are spoiled, being able to buy off the shelf sub MOA guns...up until fairly recently, it wasnt uncommon to have a 3-5 MOA "sniper rifle"...
     
    I made a copy of this Type 7 AK-47 100 rd magazine. It was a real thing. There are several pictures of the mag but little more info than a cursory caption of "100 round magazine". Why...one word:

    I welded two 40's and one 30 together. Only the first 40 is functional. I could have spent a couple of hours cleaning up the insides to make it fully functional, but I don't see the need.

    Here's someone who did spend the extra time to make a fully functional 100 rd mag. Practical? No. Awesome? Yes.
