Totally forgot about this post so apologies to all. Still haven't done anything with the martini. I'm retired and money is not always there for fun projects. I bought one of the Canadian BSA complete barreled actions with a forearm but no buttstock, luckily the Port Royal gunshop had a nice stock and at a affordable price. Only problem is the now permanent installed barrel the gunsmith surface ground the extractor for a better fit on the breech face of the barrel.And the bottom of the breech block does not hit the extractor for ejection. The original cocking lever was kinda messed up so a gent supplied me with a beautiful one. There was an article in either Home shop Machinest or Projects in Metal about welding a blob of weld where the block would hit but darned if I can find the article. So thinking about drilling and tapping for a screw in the extractor. I laid out where the screw on the extractor but way too hot in the garage right now. Frank

I envy you UK shooters for all the Martini rifles available to you.
I would purely love a .577 like BAW is building!

Love Martinis (Martini-plural, Martinus-singular?) Anyway, back in '68 I bought a Martini-Enfield that had been sleeved and converted for the NRA by W.W. Greener to .22rf. Just had to convert it, wish I hadn't. It now wears an Ackley barrel chambered in 30/40AI, scary accurate, and crotch cut walnut front and back. Just wish it wasn't 26" long, but not gonna change now. Sorry no pics. GW

I have the cheaper version in 303.........just assembled from bits with a new Lithgow H smelly barrel,ME wood,with a cut and semirestored front wood,and a old Rawson range aperature fitted on a side mount ,very similar copy of the BSA factory 9A mount...Net cost about $50,including $30 for the new barrel,bought at a vintage car swap.
