Alexander Henry (gunsmith)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Henry was a Scottish gunsmith, and designer of the Henry rifling used in the Martini-Henry rifle.
He submitted a rifle to the competition organised by the British government for a replacement to their existing Snider-Enfield service weapon. The government did not adopt its action, but did adopt its seven-grooved rifling scheme.
