Pics/info For TheDoubleD (.303 carbine)

Posted this on another thread, but meant it be new post,

Deact was going to be the last resort, the only examples of these i have seen are deacts, a lot of collectors of obsolete calibre rifles and antiques dont have a Licence so any martini in .303 gets deacted and can be added to there collection. i am keeping this for my own collection, tried the best i could to show markings but they are very faint. you can see it has been converted from a Mk11.

Man I would not deact that rifle!

Both E.R 1901 and B.E. Co makes it very uncommon.

Blenhiem Engineering only made Martini's for about a year. They were given a contract for 7,500 M-E AC.III on April 21 1900 and they ceased making arms in 1902.

The method used to deactivate these historical arm in UK is destructive of your cultural property and should be considered criminal!!

Ball park value of you gun pre deact is the region of $750 UD and up. After Deact $150 to worthless.
