Highly desirable Australian-marked Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) Martini-Henry Cadet single-shot rifle, expertly rechambered to .32-20 Winchester by the late custom gunsmith Vic Samuel. This attractive example retains its distinctive Australian military markings, including the highly collectible kangaroo crest, adding considerable historical and collector appeal. The rifle features a 25-inch barrel with a beautiful, sharp, reflective bore and well-defined rifling, along with a 13.5-inch length of pull. The wooden stock displays a distinctive, nicely executed carved letter "S," adding an interesting element of individuality to this already appealing rifle. The metal finish remains in good overall condition, exhibiting an attractive age-related patina that complements its classic military character. Mechanically, the Martini action functions smoothly and properly. Particularly noteworthy is the rifle's custom conversion by the late Vic Samuel, whose work with traditional single-shot firearms reflects an appreciation for classic rifle designs and specialized gunsmithing. His custom craftsmanship adds another dimension of interest to this Australian military cadet rifle, combining the appeal of an original Commonwealth military platform with the practicality of the popular .32-20 Winchester cartridge. With its desirable kangaroo crest, distinctive stock carving, impressive bore, and Vic Samuel conversion, this is a particularly interesting and collectible Martini Cadet rifle. C&R eligible.
