Interesting Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) small-frame Martini-Henry action offering an affordable foundation for a custom single-shot rifle or gunsmithing project. This example features a blued receiver with considerable areas of missing finish and age-related wear, contrasted by an in-the-white breech block and a blued downswept operating lever exhibiting additional patina. Particularly unusual is the word "TEST" laser-engraved on the left side of the receiver, directly over the BSA crest, suggesting that this action may have previously been used as a test piece for calibrating laser engraving equipment. The action appears to have a centerfire firing pin configuration and retains its quickly removable trigger assembly for convenient maintenance. Although cosmetically rough, the mechanical action functions, making this an interesting candidate for an experienced gunsmith seeking a practical project rather than a collector-grade example. The extractor and barrel are missing, and additional fitting and components will be required before completion. With its BSA manufacture, distinctive test engraving, and traditional Martini-style mechanism, this action presents a useful starting point for a custom rifle build.

Barrel Length: No barrel included.

Bore Condition: Not applicable; action only.

Finish Condition: Blued receiver with substantial areas of missing finish and age-related wear. Breech block is in the white. Downswept lever retains bluing with patina. Left side of receiver features a laser-engraved "TEST" marking over the BSA crest.
