Beautiful small-frame Martini-Henry action featuring exceptionally striking color case hardening on the right side of the receiver, contrasted by a predominantly in-the-white finish on the left side, creating a particularly distinctive appearance. While variations in color case hardening are not uncommon, this example displays an especially dramatic contrast, with vibrant coloring on one side and almost none on the other. The action includes its breech block, extractor, trigger assembly, and operating lever, all functioning properly. Additional features include a quick-removable trigger guard and trigger assembly, along with a clearance hole at the rear of the receiver for cleaning rod access. The breech block has not yet been drilled for a firing pin hole, leaving the final rimfire or centerfire configuration to be determined by the gunsmith completing the project. With its remarkable color case hardened appearance, functioning Martini-style mechanism, and unfinished breech block, this action presents an excellent foundation for an experienced gunsmith seeking to create a distinctive custom single-shot rifle.
