Interesting custom Martini-Henry single-shot barreled action featuring an approximately 24-inch tapered barrel, attractive blued metalwork, and a rotary dovetail scope mount installed along the top of the barrel. The barrel appears to be a custom replacement and bears the marking "7-30" on its underside, while the bore measures approximately .27.28 caliber, consistent with a nominal 7mm bore. The exact chambering has not been verified and will require confirmation by a qualified gunsmith. The bore exhibits sharp, reflective rifling, and the receiver, barrel, operating lever, and trigger assembly display attractive blued finishes, contrasting with the breech block, which remains in the white. The action retains a functioning extractor and trigger, along with a convenient thumbscrew for easy removal of the trigger assembly and a rear receiver opening providing cleaning rod clearance. Particularly noteworthy is the custom-modified trigger guard incorporating a handmade manual safety mechanism. This safety mechanism is defective and potentially dangerous: if the trigger is pulled while the safety is engaged, disengaging the safety can subsequently cause the firing mechanism to release without another trigger pull. This condition requires professional gunsmith repair before the assembly is used. Offered without a buttstock or forearm, this distinctive Martini-pattern barreled action presents an interesting restoration or custom gunsmithing project, featuring an attractive tapered barrel, scope mounting arrangement, and classic single-shot action.

Barrel Length: Approximately 24 inches, custom tapered profile.

Bore Condition: Sharp, reflective rifling. Bore measures approximately .27.28 caliber.

Finish Condition: Receiver, barrel, lever, and trigger assembly nicely blued. Breech block left in the white.

Mechanical Condition: Action, trigger, and extractor function; however, the custom manual safety is defective. Pulling the trigger with the safety engaged can result in the firing mechanism releasing when the safety is subsequently disengaged. Unsafe to fire in its present condition. Gunsmith repair, inspection, and chamber verification required before use.
