Picked up a Cadet Matini-Henry today. Great metal, wood is dinged up, but I like it.

God yes! I can't look at one and not think how I would customize it.

Hey guys
Let it alone they are getting harder to find in original condition. Mess with one already messed with.

I intend at this point to keep it unmodified. I've got other M-H's I could modify to Hornet (one of my favorite rounds, by the way). The original ones are getting to be collector's items, and I think it would be fun just to shoot it as is.

I have about a dozen of them, all customized to some degree before I acquired them, except for one that is still in the original configuration but was completely refinished before I bought it, including a high polish blue on the action. As you might guess, I really like them and they are a ton of fun to play with.

Remember when Martini actions were going for $9.95 (plus postage, of course!) from Winfield Arms and Golden State Arms?

I agree that one this nice should probably just stay "military". I also agree that I can't even look at one without seeing all the conversion possibilities....they sure make a nice .25-35.

Mine has all the proper cartouches on the stock. New South Wales, (NSW) and others. Kinda neat that it hasn't been sanded.
