Offered here is a beautifully customized Birmingham Small Arms Co. Ltd. (BSA) Martini Cadet single-shot target rifle chambered in .22 LR, featuring exceptional custom maple furniture and specialized modifications for precision shooting. Built around the renowned British Martini falling-block action, this rifle combines traditional single-shot target rifle engineering with attractive custom craftsmanship. The original model designation is uncertain due to the rifle's extensive refinishing and customization, and no serial number is visible. This example features a 20-inch barrel, 13.75-inch length of pull, and a bright bore. The rifle is equipped with a brass bead front sight, flip-up rear sight, and barrel-mounted scope bases, providing versatility for traditional iron-sight shooting or optical sight installation. Particularly noteworthy is the beautifully figured maple buttstock and matching full-length forearm, exhibiting attractive tiger-stripe grain, a warm honey-colored finish, and carefully shaped contours. The custom stock features a pronounced cheekpiece and rubber buttpad, while the forearm complements the rifle's distinctive sporting configuration. The action is fitted with a custom-made operating lever and has been tuned for a refined, light trigger pull by Vic Samuel, late Martini Gunsmith. Mechanically, the action functions smoothly and properly. Although the rifle has undergone extensive customization, original Birmingham proof markings remain visible, including the crowned "BV" inspection mark and additional crown proofs on the breechblock and faceted front corner of the receiver. The blued metal surfaces remain in excellent condition with only light handling marks, while the custom maple furniture retains its attractive finish with minimal signs of handling and use. Combining the respected BSA Martini action, handsome figured maple furniture, excellent overall condition, and carefully executed custom features, this rifle represents an appealing example of a traditional British single-shot action transformed into a distinctive precision sporting rifle.
