Offered here is a distinctive custom Birmingham Small Arms Co. Ltd. (BSA) Martini Cadet single-shot target rifle chambered in .22 LR, featuring specialized modifications by the late gunsmith Vic Samuel. Built around the renowned British Martini falling-block action, this rifle combines traditional single-shot target rifle engineering with custom features intended for precision shooting. This example features a 29-inch barrel, 13.5-inch length of pull, and sharp, well-defined rifling. The rifle is equipped with an aperture front sight and a Parker-Hale brass storage cap mounted in the forearm for storing additional sight apertures. Particularly noteworthy is the custom-made operating lever crafted by Vic Samuel, providing a distinctive departure from the standard Martini configuration. The action has also been tuned to provide a light, crisp trigger pull and functions smoothly and properly. The hardwood forearm has been specially inletted to accommodate mounting provisions for adjustable handgrips and other target shooting accessories, while the barrel has been drilled and tapped for the installation of a sight base or telescopic sight. The rifle features a traditional hardwood buttstock with a rubber recoil pad and an attractive gloss wood finish. The blued metal surfaces exhibit scattered handling wear, finish thinning, and age-related discoloration consistent with previous use. The hardwood furniture displays scattered scratches, dents, and handling marks consistent with age and use while retaining an attractive overall presentation. Combining the respected BSA Martini action, specialized target shooting features, Parker-Hale accessories, and Vic Samuel's custom gunsmithing, this rifle represents an appealing example of a traditional British single-shot action adapted for precision target shooting.
