Description

The British Army MKII Martini Henry .577 does not have any period markings on the receiver. The rifle features a 32-inch barrel, secured by two bands. One band is fitted with a bayonet lug and a folding ladder sight. The rifle has been converted to a .577/450 smoothbore, bearing Birmingham nitro proof marks. The lever, along with other parts of the rifle, contains Enfield inspection markings and WD broad arrows.

Condition:
The mechanism can cock, click, and dry fire. It is considered an obsolete caliber, as the chamber accommodates only .577.
