Some "MVTco" India Items

[SoloDallas]

Coming here to the USA - San Diego, CA - allowed me to finally receive a shipment that was long due. Not because MVTco didn't! But because "the Italians" hadn't let the package in (spits to the ground).

Among the items, were these two that I particularly like: a shorter Bess that MVTco calls "Ranger Carbine", and that seemingly somehow existed. And then, a Ketland pistol, that seems to have been used as a trade pistol in those days.
A few pics for you, from San Diego, CA!

Beautiful! Now please post pictures of shooting them.

I will
But only as soon as I do it (haven't yet). The other Besses are in Rome for now (we'll be moving here to south Cali next year) and these you see here have to be touch-hole-drilled still.

Nice looking guns! I hope your locks are better than mine. I picked up a Ketland trade pistol similar to yours, and can't get the lock to work properly. The fit is sloppy, holes too big, surfaces rough, parts not hardened properly, etc. But, for the price I paid, it's not a bad "kit." Good Luck!!
