Antique ENFIELD MARTINI-HENRY MKIV Single Shot .577/450 FALLING BLOCK Rifle 1887 Dated BRITISH Imperial Legacy Rifle

1887 Dated BRITISH Imperial Legacy Rifle

Enfield Martini-Henry Mk IV Single Shot Falling Block Military Rifle made circa 1887.
These rifles had 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.

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.
This one is littered with proof and acceptance markings on the barrel, receiver, and
stock. 1887 is marked on the right side of the receiver along with Queen Victoria’s
royal cipher and IV for Mk IV.

The overall condition is good. Bblued finish is at about 10% all over.
Excellent action. The bore is bright with sharp rifling.

The wood is marked and dented all over the stock as one would expect.. There is a
chip out at stock heel behind the steel buttplate.
There is a crack along middle wood on the left and small repair on the other side

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 33 inches.

Caliber: .577/450
