Offered here is a custom Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) Martini-pattern single-shot barreled action chambered in .17 caliber, serial number P68692, featuring a 20-inch barrel and several custom gunsmithing modifications. Built around the traditional British Martini falling-block action, this example retains a BSA-marked barrel bearing the corresponding serial number P68692, matching the action. The barrel has been sleeved to accommodate its present .17-caliber configuration while retaining the original exterior barrel and its British proof markings. The action features a custom-contoured operating lever believed to be the work of gunsmith Vic Samuel, whose custom Martini rifles are known for their individually fitted components and modifications to traditional British single-shot actions. Additional features include a cartridge case extractor and an action-mounted safety. The receiver remains in the white, displaying unfinished bright metal surfaces, with protective masking tape applied to its sides. The operating lever and breechblock exhibit color case hardening. The 20-inch barrel retains a bright bore with sharp, well-defined rifling, while its exterior shows scattered polishing marks, light discoloration, and areas of surface oxidation. The action operates well, and the assembly is offered without a buttstock or forearm. This barreled action represents an interesting example of custom Martini gunsmithing, retaining its matching BSA barrel and action while incorporating a sleeved small-caliber barrel and modified operating components.
