Ordered hand select. Received rifle with small amount of rot in forestock. Barrel shows pitting where it meets the forestock. Receiver has major pitting on left side where it meets fore stock. Buttstock is great with arsenal markings. While cleaner than the others I have received still has lots of gunk on internal parts. 2/12/2010 |

Just got my Untouched, unmarked M-H. All I have to say is wow!!! It cleaned up easy, and had a bunch of arsenal markings on the stock and barrel, as well as the enternal parts. This rifle is well worth the money (hand select). Thanks AC!!!! 1/5/2010 |

Recieved this rifle in very good condition. The wood is in good condition, and there are no broken or missing parts. There is some pitting on the barrel under the wood-line, but not seen with the stock on. The bore is very good. The real surprise is the action. Very clean, no grease or gunk of any kind. Very lttle wear, looks like it has been rebuilt with new parts. They did do a good job of scrubbing the exterior markings, but the internal parts have all the proof marks. Another winner from AC. Thank you! 12/7/2009 |

The rifle I received (hand-selected)has clean wood and metal surfaces; not dirty or rusty. The action works perfectly. Some forestock dings and a well done arsenal repair to the butt stock with dates on the original stock and replacement piece (1887 and 1894 respectively). The bore has sharp rifling. I found that the book AC sells, "Guns of the Gurkhas," was helpful in deciphering some of the marking on the barrel as well as giving a good history of this type of rifle. 11/15/2009 |

Much better than I was expecting. Lots of history in this rifle and a great companion for a night watching Zulu! 10/15/2009 |
Martini Henry Infantry Rifle Untouched No Markings
ID#: 600826
Price: $349.95

This is the same gun as the Short Lever Martini Henry with the exception that this one has no markings on the receiver. The butt stocks have been repaired and stamped by the Birmingham Arsenal. We can hand select the best rifle for an additional fee of $50.00.
These particular Martini Infantry Rifles were used by the Gurkha detachments mostly in the Indian Sub Continent and are offered in AS IS condition. Each Rifle is offered totally as found, completely un-cleaned and un-refurbished. The only service performed has been to ensure none are still loaded! Totally covered and caked with dried on grease, dirt and rust, these can be displayed as found or be the subject of winter nights of TLC to restore them to their former glory. All appear to be complete but no guarantees as to what use or damage may be found after more than 100 years of neglect and storage.
While supplies last...get a copy of the hard cover book Treasure is Where You Find It on all orders with $250 or more of merchandise from the Antique Militaria category. This free gift will be included with your order at the time of shipment.
Each gun will feature:
The action, lever, trigger, stock (which may show signs of wear like cracks, old repairs, wood rot, etc), barrel, 2 steel barrel bands, cleaning rod and butt plate.
Some guns may have additional pieces (sorry no choice) like minor parts & screws.
Condition: usually show rust & pitting and be covered in dirt as originally stored. Otherwise they may not operate because of seizing or could be otherwise incomplete. Plus there may be additional cracks, missing chunks, old repairs.
Note: These guns were manufactured before 1898 and are therefore legally considered antiques. It is totally legal to own these without a U.S. Federal Firearms License (FFL) and they can be shipped to most countries around the world.
