Attractive custom Martini-Henry single-shot barreled action featuring a beautifully color case-hardened receiver, breech block, and operating lever, paired with an approximately 23.75-inch half-octagon, half-round barrel. This interesting assembly features a nicely machined, completely unmarked barrel with a bore measuring approximately .28 caliber and exhibiting sharp, reflective rifling. The exact chambering remains unidentified and will require verification by a qualified gunsmith before firing. The distinctive barrel transitions from an octagonal profile near the receiver to a traditional round configuration toward the muzzle, giving the assembly an appealing classic sporting rifle appearance. The Martini action features a functioning extractor and trigger, along with a convenient receiver-mounted thumbscrew allowing easy removal of the trigger assembly for cleaning and maintenance. An opening at the rear of the receiver provides clearance for a cleaning rod, while a long stock-mounting screw extends from the rear of the receiver for attaching a buttstock. Offered as a barreled action without wooden stock or forearm, this assembly presents an excellent foundation for an experienced gunsmith interested in completing a custom single-shot sporting rifle. With its attractive color case hardening, distinctive barrel profile, quality machining, and sharp reflective bore, this is an appealing Martini-pattern gunsmithing project.
