Attractive Martini-Henry single-shot barreled action, believed to be chambered in .218 Bee, featuring a distinctive 24.75-inch half-octagon, half-round barrel with a sharp, reflective bore. This interesting custom configuration features an octagonal barrel section extending approximately halfway down its length before transitioning to a traditional round profile, giving the assembly an appealing classic sporting rifle appearance. Both the receiver and barrel have been blued, providing an attractive, uniform finish. The octagonal portion of the barrel incorporates two dovetailed threaded inserts that appear intended for attaching a forearm, while additional threaded holes along the top of the barrel may accommodate a rotary dovetail scope mounting system or iron sights. The Martini action functions properly and retains its extractor. Offered as a barreled action without a buttstock or forearm, this assembly presents an excellent foundation for a custom single-shot sporting rifle project. With its distinctive half-octagon barrel, attractive blued finish, and classic Martini falling-block action, this is an interesting piece for the collector or gunsmith seeking a custom rifle project. The chambering is believed to be .218 Bee but has not been confirmed and should be verified before firing.
