KABUL ARSENAL Antique MARTINI-HENRY .577/450 Cal. FALLING BLOCK Carbine British Imperial Legacy MILITARY Rifle w/AFGHAN PAPER
Description: KABUL ARSENAL Antique MARTINI-HENRY .577/450 Cal. FALLING BLOCK Carbine British Imperial Legacy MILITARY Rifle w/AFGHAN PAPER Here we present an antique Kabul Arsenal Martini-Henry Single Shot Falling Block Military Carbine made circa 1885 with a production run between 1871 and 1889 with somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 produced. Martini-Henry Carbines are quite hard to find, especially in the original .577/.450 chambering, as many were converted to .303 British. The markings on the carbine show that it definitely has had a somewhat interesting history and came out of Afghanistan in 2016. One of the most well-known private producers at the time was Braendlin Armoury, which was owned by one of the major players in the Birmingham Small Arms Co, William Tranter. The company produced many Martini-Henry action rifles, and according to some sources made parts under contract to RSAF Enfield. The quality of manufacture was very high, about the same level as the government factories. They also made many sporting rifles, and also rifles for foreign contracts. One of these contracts was for the Emir of Afghanistan, and was placed in the 1880s for various weapons, including these Martini-Henry Cavalry carbines, which is how many of these carbines ended up in the country. Also included is a U.S. Armed Forced affidavit “Bring Back” paper from Bagram, Afghanistan dated May 18, 2016 listing this gun by serial number. This example has been there and done that. The action does not function. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock, it contains average wear. The wrist repair is stable. Clear markings. “33” is marked on the barrel flat. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 21-1/2 inches. Caliber: .577/450 Centerfire 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 $1050 #226045 SOLD Antique: Yes |
