New Martinis being built.
Apparently these guys are peddling these at the Shot show this week. No pricing or del shown yet, but looks interesting;

dovetail base?
Why not something solid and a little more elegant? Perhaps they will add a few more calibers like .22 Hornet,.303 British and .38-55

If this is successful, maybe they'll bring back the Ross?

Very cool.
These look like copies of Francotte pattern Martinis?
I have always thought it odd that with all the other reproductions being made no-one has made a modern repo of a Martini.

If only they made them in 303 I'd be all over that like white on rice!

Interesting niche market gun.
I don't get the 2x4 shaped forend on a supposedly hand crafted creation. No "art" in their souls?
I wonder if .303 British would feed into Martini scales for smaller cartridges?

Hello everyone!
We are thrilled with the attention we've been getting for the new Martini rifles. We would like to let you know that we have just announced pricing starting at $1699.00 for the standard version of the rifle. We will be setting the pricing for the other models and options shortly.
If you have any questions at all please ask away!

Hey Dewey Cox,
We haven't yet decided on all options for distribution (or even if we'll be able to offer these internationally). If we can get a distributor to pick these up then that would make things much easier.
Of course part of that depends on interest from the international community as well!
We'll definitely keep you posted if anything changes.

During development we decided to design the martini henry rifle in this configuration to start out with. Since this is our first offering, we'll be listening to feedback from users on which features they like, and which ones they might like in the future.
We are currently playing with the idea of custom orders as well since we do all machining and manufacturing in house.
Hope that answers your question!

HOWDY and Welcome!
I am assuming the safety is down on the right side like the original Martinis?

Thanks!
While you’re listening - consider a cadet with a pistol grip for your next venture. But be careful, there are a lot of ugly stock shapes on cadets, much fewer with nice lines....
Or even bare actions would be nice if you don’t want to mess around with different stock styles.

Thank you for the kind greetings!
Not only does it have a safety but we've also improved the safety of the firearm. It cannot fire unless the block is completely closed. Not to mention the whole action can be removed with the press of a button.
What do you think?

Hey double gun.
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll definitely bring this up with the engineers and see how they might approach the idea.
We're going to start production with the current offerings and see how the feedback comes in and then go from there!
We have also been receiving a lot of interest in the bare action. We've been talking about offering just the action for sale and that idea is being flushed out.

Looks like some serious thought went into that setup. Probably beats the heck out of everything else in ease of cleaning, if you happen to dump some powder in it whilst loading for breech seating, be a natural for a 32RKS.. Looked to me like the idea was to run the lower power cartridges in them so far. Be nice to be able to run pretty much anything an 1885 or Ruger could handle in it down the road. Could be a heck of a platform for some nice custom stuff.

If you
Make a .303 British go with the correct .311 groove not like the Ruger#1 .314
1-10 twist with a 3 leaf express sight 1 to 300 yards.
And the .22 Hornet not in 1-16 but rather 1-12 or faster for 50gr+ bullets

Our chief engineer put a lot of work into designing this classic action with modern safety features and ease of maintenance. We can't wait to see how you guys make these your own custom rifles once we can get them into your hands!

We're hearing a lot of interest for bringing a .303 caliber version to the platform.
We'll definitely bring this to the engineers' attention and see what plans he might have in store!
Along that topic, we will initially offer the martini rifle in 25-35, 30-30, 30-40 Krag, and .44 rem mag. Which one of these calibers does everyone find interesting? Which ones did we miss but should have included (ie .303)
Let us know! We're listening!

I like that the trigger group/ block are easily removable , one of the big advantages that the Sharps has over the Ruger singles and the 1885’s for cleaning .
The original safeties are not very good at all, glad to hear they have been upgraded .
I have owned small and large framed Martinis in many different cartridges , most of them wildcats but several in 577/450 and .303Brit
I am not sure how many you would sell in the States in .303 but if the bore was right they might be a bit of a seller in Canada .
My main rifle is a single shot in .303 and I am a big fan of that cartridge!

Not only that but the block support has been massively beefed up using the rear of the action as bracing. The trigger also features an independent sear for enhanced safety. The lever even has a new spring detent plunger that holds it firmly in place when cocked (no more floppy lever).

I wonder if they took into consideration a through hole for the passage of a cleaning rod. Other than that what a welcome arrival to our current single shot options. David.
