Have this small frame Martini by BSA but I don't recall having ever seen one with the rear sight mounted this way. Anybody know what model?

That's a model 15 receiver - but the forend doesn't seem to be the correct one for the model...

Agree with Gert---stock and fore end have been replaced.

It looks like it might have started life as the "Centurian" version of the Model 15 (different stock/lever and better barrel with a flat, matted top surface. I recall these were guaranteed to shoot 10 shots into 1.5" at 100yards.

I got the gun with this forend and another home made long forend which unlike the one shown in the Centurion pictures. I guess the sad part is that it had been converted to .22 Hornet, so not very original, but it shoots great.
Thanks for all the replies.
