MINIATURE SERVICE RIFLES Description
Greener manufactured miniature service rifles modeled on original Martini service rifles and were similar in appearance, feel and weight to the service equivalent, but in .22, .279 or .230 calibers. Conforming to the NRA class of 'Military Miniatures' these models were popular with clubs having outdoor ranges up to 100 yards. A better quality rifle with extra sights, figured stock and forend was the 'Queens Cup Winner' rifle (Model MS 8). It was using a rifle of this type that Mr A.G. Banks won the Queens Cup competition at Bisley. W.W. Greener said, "The Blue Riband of the Miniature Rifle World," and so he named this better quality rifle as the Queens Cup Winner grade. Other models included the MS 90 and MS 55.
