Offered here is a beautifully customized Birmingham Small Arms Co. Ltd. (BSA) Martini Cadet single-shot rifle chambered in .17 caliber, featuring exceptional custom walnut furniture and specialized gunsmithing by the late Vic Samuel. Built around the renowned British Martini falling-block action, this rifle combines traditional single-shot engineering with custom features and attractive craftsmanship. The original model designation is uncertain due to the rifle's extensive refinishing and customization, and no serial number is visible. This example features a 20-inch heavy bull-profile barrel, 13.5-inch length of pull, and a bright bore. The barrel has been drilled and tapped and is fitted with a scope mounting base. Particularly noteworthy is the beautifully figured custom walnut buttstock, exhibiting dramatic contrasting grain, an attractive finish, and carefully sculpted contours. The stock incorporates a pronounced cheekpiece, pistol grip, and buttpad, while the custom forearm features attractive wood grain and a contrasting forearm tip. The rifle is also equipped with flush-cup sling mounting hardware and swivels. The action is fitted with a distinctive custom-made operating lever crafted by Vic Samuel, showcasing the specialized workmanship associated with his single-shot rifle conversions. Mechanically, the action functions smoothly and properly. The blued metal surfaces remain in excellent condition with only light handling marks, while the custom walnut furniture retains its attractive finish. Combining the respected BSA Martini action, substantial bull-profile barrel, handsome custom walnut furniture, and Vic Samuel's distinctive gunsmithing, this rifle represents an appealing example of a traditional British single-shot action transformed into a beautifully executed custom sporting rifle.
