1887 Antique ENFIELD Martini-Henry MKIV.577/450 Falling Block MILITIA Rifle w/SIGHT PROTECTOR & LEATHER SLING
Description: 1887 Antique ENFIELD Martini-Henry MKIV.577/450 Falling Block MILITIA Rifle w/SIGHT PROTECTOR & LEATHER SLING Here we present an antique Enfield Martini-Henry Mk IV Single Shot Falling Block Military Rifle made circa 1887 with a production run between 1871 and 1889 with somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 produced. The first iteration of the rifle came about in 1871 and was adopted by the British Army to replace the Enfield Snider Breech Loading Rifles that were being phased out. When the decision was made to make general issue of the Martini Henry MKII & MKIII to the Militia and Volunteers in January of 1885 and the impending new .303 caliber, along with the suspension and ultimate cancellation of the .402 bore in June of 1887, it was decided as a short term measure to convert the 65,000 .402 Enfield Martinis already made to a usable .577/450 firearm. These 65,000 rifles were designated the Martini Henry MKIV. The action is based on the patent by American and Boston native Henry O. Peabody, which was improved by Swiss inventor Friedrich von Martini. The new polygonal barrel rifling was the design of Scotsman Alexander Henry. This is where the rifle derives its name. Martini–Henry variants were used throughout the British Empire for 47 years. Like other British weapons, the Peabody-Martini-Henry saw action all over the world, and most famously in the Zulu Wars in Africa. The overall condition is fine. The action is strong. Original blue finish has been preserved. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. Markings and proofs are legible. The stock has less than average wear and remains in very good shape. A plug is present in the stock under the lever. Good leather sling. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 33-1/4 inches. Caliber: .577/450 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1400 #247485 SOLD Antique: Yes |
