New Martini Enfield
Hello all,
First time posting on this forum, although I'm a regular on the Lee Enfield forum. I have been on the hunt for a Martini-Enfield for quite some time. What I have found has either been priced into the stratosphere, or in horrible shape & condition. Last weekend, I attended a local auction and scored a beautiful M-E Mk I, converted from a Mk III. Crisp markings on buttstock denote prior ownership of the Tasmanian Civilian Militia Forces (CMF/T) with a stock disc marked Tasmanian Government. Bore is dark, but rifling is strong.
I have an extensive collection of Lee Enfields, but it do have a few odd-man-out empire weapons in 303. This M-E now joins my Ross Mk II and P-14 in the safe, surround by its LE brethren.

Very nice. One I'd like to acquire someday along with the 8mm Gras. I love the repurposing of old firearms to extend their lives. The exception being the Vetterli Carcano which is a ticking time bomb. Sadly, it's the only one I own.

Yes that appears to be a nice one that checks a lot of boxes and certainly fits the bill.
Ive been watching them closely, studying and learning as I go.
Since I read Frank De Hass Single Shot Actions, its been a problem finding them in poor enough condition
for me to work on.
They're strangely fascinating for some reason or aspect I dont understand yet except theirs not enough of them
to easily grab up for parts or mods.

Thank you. Can't tell you how challenging it is to find pictures of Tasmanian marked Martinis. That's beautiful find, and really appreciate your posting the pics.
