Adapted from Metford pattern rifle for black powder, the Mk III features a distinctive snub-nosed appearance at the front of the barrel, and requires care when reloading with 5-round stripper clips using rimmed ammunition cases near the receiver bridge with charger clip guides. It is possible to load only loose rounds, firing a single shot and then reloading, retaining the ammunition in the magazine as a reserve. It is also possible to release the entire magazine via a catch within the trigger guard, though this practice was discouraged.
QM: this rifle can be fired from horseback, but with some difficulty. There is a small risk that you will become unbalanced and fall from the saddle when doing so.
