anything but Kyber pass copies of Martini ???
picked up an Enfield Martini carbine in 303... or so I thought... now it looks as if it's a parts gun or... some parts look Kyber pass( or at least very crude ), some look like Enfield parts... the receiver was heavily pitted, with most ground off, & reblued before I bought it...it looks restamped... but the Enfield crown stamp looks perfect, I have the gun at a buddy that's done a lot of work over years on these type of guns, for a rebuild, this is where we discovered that it's not British ( or at least complete British ) however my rebuilder buddy also feels many of the parts are too refined to be Kyper Pass parts, & yet aren't British either
the proof mark on the barrel looks like a broad "E" or castle turret thread on the guns barrel & receiver are .975" 13 threads per inch... or close to 25mm 2mm pitch...
anyone know if anyone "else" made copies or parts for the Martini's ???

There was a variant of the M-N made in Nepal. Known to collectors as the Gahendra. Lot of them have come on the market in recent years. As a US company bought all the old guns from the Nepalese arsenals. 0 -
Thank you for the suggestion... from what I can find on the Gahendra, the internals can out as one serviceable unit, & the pics I can find, the trigger guard lacks the heart shape...
this is the style of rifle ( not mine, but mine looks just like this one )
any other suggestions ???0 -
try another way of posting a pic 0 -
some were also made in Belgium, I have one with Belgian proofs. I have seen both latge and small action martinis this way. quality is as good as the british rifles. 0 -
Most likely its one of the ersatz Martini carbines recently imported by SOG. 0
