Martini sporting rifle restoration project

[barbarossa]

Just picked this up a I Hollis martini sporting rifle in 577/450.Gun is a bit beat up on the outside which is a bit of a shame but everything works including the safety and it has a great bore with no pitting at all on the rifle.I have to find a replacement trigger guard /reciever screw,buttplate and folding ladder sight.

Hey that's a looker! Nice find, have always wanted to tinker with a Martini.

WOW!!!! what a find that is the makings of fine hunting rifle.

Friend, Hollis seems to have made quite a few of these fine sporters. I would suggest you check in with the lads at the British Militaria Forums and I will bet someone will have just the parts you need.

Very nice rifle! I guess you want to replace the triggerguard to make it like a regular Martini? I personally love the Hollis triggerguard/lever on it now, and they give much better extraction leverage than the original did.

Do as you wish, but everything looks well done as is to me.

[barbarossa]

No I just want to replace the extractor screw (the big machine bolt on the front of the frame) with the proper one and I need a buttplate for it.I too like the Hollis style lever and guard I have a greener martini rook rifle with the same style pistol grip and lever

Very cool
