I had one of those #3s once. Sold it to Bob Bowman. He had the barrel set back and proceeded to start taking us over the hurdles with it.   Grin

I hope mine fits here. It is a BSA Martini11 International. It was built by Karl Kenyon. It is just incredibly accurate rifle. It feels like it has a 2oz trigger like my BR rifles.

Nice rifle Butch.

My Grunig and Elmiger palma rifle has a Kenyon trigger. It's superb!

And a final so you can see the engraving better


Man Dick, you do just as good of a Greener as you do a Trapdoor.

Thought you guys in a colder climate would like to be cheered up by looking at my bougainvillea and new BSA 22rf.
Was a standard target rifle and has an excellent trigger.
Barrel cut down to 18" and threaded for a silencer. By not saying a sound moderator I suppose I am showing my age.
Note the machining on the action which doesn't show up very well in this photo.
The trigger guard has also been reshaped but does not show in this side on photo.
Scope is a Burris 8x32 Signature. 
Still got a bit of work left to do on the stock, just boiled linseed oil. The wood shows different colours from various angles and this photograph does not do it justice.
Regards.

O.K. everyone the "last Martini" is back with new barrel and stock. It still needs work but I think you will get the general idea of what it is going to look like.

I originally started out to build a small bore and as you know all things change in one form or another. This Martini was built on a Bonehill action that had been completely re-done and is tight as a drum. I had a 1/2 oct 1/2 round barrel added to that in 45-90 Win..... and a fairly nice piece of walnut tacked on as well. I can't get the fugure to come out on the left side of the stock for some reason??? It has the same fiddleback as the right side but the sun just didn't hit it right sorry.....I also don't have any overall pictures yet but will post them when I get them. This is still a work in progress and needs some additional lever work, blueing, and sights. There may also be some case coloring in the future also.

I have also just made a liar out of myself about this being the last Martini!!!!!!!! I picked up a little .303 basket case that I am going to work on soon............. I have the sickness!!!!!!!!! Take care and God bless. cordell

Cordell,
That is a very nice rifle, excellent work, Hope you have some method of protecting the Schnabel. I tend to chip even conservative ones. That one looks very graceful but very fragile. Maybe an insert would help, just don't know.

Hi Cordell. Do you remember I mentioned that I had originally stocked the Greener in a Gemmer/Plains rifle configuration? I dug out a couple pictures of it this was. If you go back to the more "conventional" pictures, you can see the difference. Any favorites as to which one you guys like best?  Should I have left it this was? 'course, it's only a couple of screws and the forend wedge to change it back. Wink I never throw anything away.
