I still have to re-assemble it, then it will be in safe shooting condition. I will post pictures at a later date here. I have other Islamic arms - in shooting condition.
Martin: That is a GREAT looking Algerian miquelet lock rifle. I'm looking for one myself, but no luck yet. Thanks for sharing your collection. I'm still wiping the drual off my mouth.

Hi Rick

Interesting that you actually shoot with these weapons.
In the netherlands you also have some groups that practice this kind of shooting.
The Algerian was a great find,somewhere in Belgium.
You dont find them often.
But there must be a lot out there since belgium and france occupied a lot of countries in Nort africa in the past.
Would love to see pics from your collection.
