I do not want to screw anything up as I imagine parts will be almost non existant. Any help you or anyone else on the board can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance survivalist

Blue prints as we know them today don't exist for the Martini Henry let alone these guns; there are drawings but not blue prints. There are stories about them being some sort copies of a Westley Richards, and indeed their internals are some what similiar to the Westley Richards Improved. There are some reference to them as Wessley Richards. They appear to be some what crude and hand made. They were supposed to have been native made in nepal.. I would start taking them apart like a Martini Henry. No one yet has reported problems with disassembley and assembly of these guns.

Here is the link if you want to take the shortcut [http://britishmilitariaforums.yuku.com/directory] Pinky It is not a gun. It is not a Weapon. It is not a firearm. It is a single cylinder single stroke internal combustion engine with a free floating piston! Last Edited By: Pinky 07/03/09 18:05:26. Edited 1 times.

They are a cakewalk to take apart if the screws and pins will cooperate. I was lucky in that the Gahendra I got had nary a stuck screw; the internals and bore looked new. The parts are quite sturdy so I would not worry too much when you work on it. Good Luck.

As Double D has suggested, detailed drawings are available, but they can't be described as blueprints. See Ian Skennerton's site for details: http://www.skennerton.com/forsale.html
