This BSA Martini Cadet in .310 caliber is an Australian issue rifle, marked for the Commonwealth of Australia military forces and built by Birmingham Small Arms. The metal retains 98 percent of its original factory blue and the markings are crisp. The bore is excellent and the action works perfectly. The stock carries a sharp cartouche and shows only light handling marks. One point to know: this Martini has no safety, so the loading lever should stay open and the breech empty until you are ready to load and fire.

A Delaware shooter will use this as a range and collection rifle, and it is a good fit for anyone who enjoys single-shot falling-block actions with a military history. Rifles need no purchase permit in Delaware, though the buyer must be 21 or older, and the dealer still handles photo identification, Form 4473 and the background check. Check the current DNREC guide before taking any rifle afield in the state.
