I'd just like to say this was a much better article than neally all others i've read, because not only to you get a good read but some very good pics.

Boy, Dopers sure make for good wiki authors!

Thanks! I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out... now I need to find a decent pic of a Martini-Enfield to go with it! --Commander Zulu 06:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A big thank you to Coggansfield from Gunboards.com for generously taking some photos of his Martini-Enfield Mk I and Mk II rifles and allowing their use here! --Commander Zulu 14:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mismatch between the Martini-Enfield time in service and the .303 British?

If the .303 British only came in service in Dec 1888 (per its own page), why are the Martini-Enfield considered in service from 1878 "for use with the newly introduced .303 British cartridge"? The ten-year difference in reverse seems incredibly unlikely to happen in real life.
