Interesting Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) Martini-Henry single-shot barreled action featuring an attractive combination of blued metalwork, a breech block left in the white, and a custom color case-hardened operating lever. The barrel is marked .310 caliber but appears to have been rechambered to .32-40 Winchester, making this an intriguing custom sporting rifle project. The exact chambering has not been confirmed and will require verification by a qualified gunsmith before firing. The bore appears to be in good condition, displaying sharp, reflective rifling. Particularly noteworthy is the rifle's sighting arrangement, featuring both front and rear sights, with a finely adjustable rear sight protected by a pair of guards. The receiver incorporates a convenient thumbscrew allowing easy removal of the trigger assembly, along with an opening at the rear for cleaning rod clearance. The blued receiver and barrel contrast nicely with the unfinished breech block and custom color case-hardened lever, giving the assembly a distinctive appearance. Offered as a barreled action without a buttstock or forearm, this BSA Martini presents an appealing foundation for an experienced gunsmith interested in completing a custom single-shot sporting or target rifle.
