Interesting Martini-Henry single-shot barreled action featuring an attractive color case-hardened receiver and an approximately 22.5-inch half-octagon, half-round barrel, offering an excellent foundation for a custom gunsmithing project. The barrel features an octagonal profile toward the chamber end before transitioning to a traditional round configuration, giving the assembly a distinctive classic sporting rifle appearance. The .22-caliber barrel remains in the white and features a sharp, reflective bore. The chamber appears to have been cut for a rimmed cartridge, and the barrel bears the handwritten marking "22-30" in permanent marker. The exact chambering remains unidentified, and a chamber cast will be required to establish the proper cartridge designation. The barrel has not yet been machined for an extractor, although a spare extractor accompanies the assembly and is secured to the trigger guard with a string. The trigger functions, and the receiver displays attractive color case hardening that contrasts nicely with the unfinished barrel. Offered as a barreled action without a buttstock or forearm, this is an appealing project piece for an experienced gunsmith interested in completing a custom Martini-pattern single-shot rifle.
