Same as those sold by Int'l Military Antiques and SPG
If you mean the $189 Gahendra arsenal rifles, I bought two and had a good experience. Bought mine through Sportsman's Guide, they're def the same ones being sold by IMA, because they were dropped shipped not from SPGs ZIP but from IMAs.
If you're a member of Sportsman's Guide buyers club, you can buy them for 10% off list price, which basically covers shipping. Some may be missing bits, but mine were largely complete and I'm very happy with them. Once I'm done selling and moving, I'll be finishing and shooting my Martini Henry Gahendra.

Can't completely disagree about buying a "real" M-H
The Gehandras are "gunsmith specials" I have to admit. But I'm a budding hobbyist in gunsmithing. I've made a few screws to replace worn ones, I had to repair some wood, and I've got a hammer to repair (broke off the spring catch lever, whatever it's called).
Kroil worked wonders, that and patience. If I felt the urge, I'd buy some again, they do well enough.
The IMA (or wherever you order them through, if it's untouched Nepalese, it's IMA's and will be drop shipped) untouched Gahendras are NOT clean up and shoot grade. No chance. They are "spend some time and elbow grease on, along with a little yankee ingenuity, and you'll get a nice gun" grade.
