Ahh the PRS. Rarer than hen's teeth, that one is. But apparently back in production (finally). If only I could get someone to import it to the U.S., since the official Korth importer Nighthawk apparently will only bring in the revolvers (sigh).

The 208 is a gorgeous piece of equipment Lenny. Will you ever shoot this one? It would not hurt it if you do. I know I would . And those 240s too. Especially the .32 S&W long pistol.

Awww and the P240s are just perfection sir. Let's go to the range Lenny..

Korth are making the PRS again, but are not accepting any new orders due to the immense backlog that they have.
Here are better pictures of my .45ACP Korth PRS -
And my other Korth - Ratzenburg production, Korth Match Revolver in .32 S&W L, made in 1985/6, only 5 shots ever fired...(apart from factory testing)

Regarding the Enfields sir, I've had 1 Canadian Long Branch #4 Mk 1 and 1 Pattern 14 Eddystone. Your Lee Metford is the one milsurp rifle I never found. Not in any gun shop, not at any gun shows. Had I acquired the Metford rifle, a local bullet caster made lead bullets which I would have loaded for target shooting.
Just for you David - my Lee Metford. It's all original and retains the original Metford barrel, piling swivel, dustcover, magazine cut-off and magazine chain..

Wonderful. I have a "beater" 1968 Python I put Nills on because I hate the cowboy grips. I've "ruined" it, but nobody wanted it and I paid $600...

Keep it coming. I don't think I've got anything proper exotic to show, but I'll try. I think everyone here has already come up to my flat and seen my etchings, but perhaps they'll humor me.

Thank you Lenny for posting up your beautiful old Metford rifle. I have never seen one anywhere. That one is perfect condition.

I wanted a Hammerli until I finally got to use one. The trigger is too far away for me. The Smith and Wesson 41 is almost too far.

Thanks David. These are even to hard to find here in Australia. I only see one for sale every 3 years or so..
I'm after a Martini-Henry in .303 British now.

The last model Hammerli 208 is called the 208S, and it features a trigger that you can move forwards and backwards to suit the length of your trigger finger.

And those 240s too. Especially the .32 S&W long pistol.
