Attractive Martini-Henry single-shot barreled action featuring a color case-hardened receiver and breech block, paired with a substantial 21.25-inch heavy bull barrel left in the white. This interesting custom assembly features a .17-caliber barrel with sharp, reflective rifling and appears potentially chambered in .17 HMR or a similar cartridge, although the exact chambering remains unconfirmed and will require verification by a qualified gunsmith. The barrel is machined for an extractor, which functions properly, and features threaded mounting holes along its top surface that appear intended for the installation of a scope mount. Particularly noteworthy is the modified trigger guard, which incorporates a simple manually operated safety consisting of a metal rod designed to physically prevent the trigger from being pulled. The Martini action and trigger function, although the effectiveness of the modified safety has not been verified. The attractive color case hardening contrasts nicely with the unfinished heavy barrel, giving this assembly a distinctive custom appearance. Offered as a barreled action without a buttstock or forearm, this is an appealing foundation for an experienced gunsmith interested in completing a custom Martini-pattern sporting or target rifle.
