Item Description: Nice British-made Martini-Enfield .303 carbine. I imported this rifle from Australia about 25 years ago. It is NOT a mud hut-made Khyber Pass rifle like the ones the GIs all brought back from Afghanistan 15 years ago. The weapon has Birmingham Proofhouse marks on its knoxform from when it was nitro-proofed. This is a trade-pattern weapon, made for sale to civilians, governments and businesses, it is NOT a military pattern Martini, but it is definitely of British manufacture.
The rifle was used as a guard's gun in a prison on the island of Tasmania according to the dealer that sold me the rifle. The buttstock bears unit markings, but I've never been able to decipher them. Overall condition is good, but there is some chipping of the buttstock wood where it meets the action body. See pictures. The bore is decent but there is some pitting in the last ⅓ of the bore. Not terrible, but worthy of mention. There are blemishes and dents here and there, as is to be expected from a 130+ year old firearm. The barrel finish is quite nice, but the finish on the action body has faded to a purplish plum color, and is showing through to the white in some places. Overall, a nice example of a workhorse Martini-Enfield carbine.
I'm pretty firm on the price, but I think it's very fair. I'd entertain trades or partial trades for OLD guns. I have ZERO interest in acquiring Glocks, Sigs, ARs, tactical shotguns or anything like that. I am specifically looking for a revolver in 45 Colt (the "Long" variety, not "ACP").
Since I imported this rifle, and had to do a 4473 on it, I'd insist on getting a hand-written bill of sale to cover my butt if you decide to hold up the stagecoach with this thing.
Let me know if you need pictures of anything specifically, and I'll oblige. I'm willing to drive 50 miles from Camden County, GA to do a meet-up.
