Legit, or hand-made block?
Hello Martini enthusiasts!
A fellow asked me to look at his Martini carbine. Was able to get this out of the frame. Leaves me wondering if it's a trustworthy part. I tested the action before taking it apart with an empty cartrige but with a new primer. The primer strike was so off-center it almost missed the primer. It was right on its edge.
Looking at it from the front, it is obviously asymetrical. Only stamp visible is a "T.D" upside down on its right side. There is no retaining screw on the back face.
Any opinion or advice?
