Description

Martini-Henry Carbines are quite hard to find, especially in the original .577/.450 chambering, as many were converted to .303 British. One of the most well-known private producers at the time was Braendlin Armory, which was owned by one of the major players in the Birmingham Small Arms Co, William Tranter. The company produced many Martini-Henry action rifles, and according to some sources made parts under contract
to RSAF Enfield. The quality of manufacture was very high, about the same level as the government factories. They also made many sporting rifles, and also rifles for foreign contracts.
One of these was for the Emir of Afghanistan, and was placed in the 1880s for various weapons, including Martini-Henry Cavalry carbines
