Nice looking.  Looks like the lever on a Hoch action.

Australian  Gun Laws

The Government acknowledges the danger Golf Clubs pose to the community and wishes to reduce harm by these deadly weapons, therefore we will be bringing in new legislation to protect the public.

Starting next month we will be introducing a Golfers Licence and Golf Club registration system.

Members of the public who wish to apply for a Golfers Licence must join an approved Golf Club, after providing 2 character references from people who are not relatives and have known you for more than twelve months. The applicants must consent to a police background check and pay the annual fee nominated by your club.

Applicants must complete an approved Golfing Safety Course at their own cost $200, and be a member of a club for at least 6 months before applying for their Golfing Licence. During this time they are obviously not allowed to own their own clubs.

Applicants must also meet the required storage requirements for golf clubs, which is a solid steel container that is bolted to the structural framework of a building (good luck getting that one past your landlord) or a solid steel container weighing more than 150kg. If the licence application is successful this storage facility will be regularly inspected by police. Licensed Golfers must store all golf balls separate to their golf clubs. Any person caught storing golf balls with their golf clubs will be charged with an offence and have their licence revoked.

On submitting all the relevant documents to the licensing dept applicants must also provide fees of $97 for the application and $210 for the five year licence.

If the applicant is successful in their licence application they will be allowed to apply for a permit to acquire a Golf Club. As the new golf club registration system will cost money to administer there will be a fee of approximately $37 for each permit application. If the Golfer wishes to buy a club from another Golfer rather than a licensed golf club dealer they must have the sale brokered through a dealer and pay the dealer a $16 fee. These permits are expected to take approximately 6 weeks to process, this 6 weeks will not be included in the mandatory 28 day cooling off period, therefore Golfers can select a club they wish to purchase and be golfing with it within 3 months.

In the first 12 months of having a Golfers licence, the Golfer is permitted to own 1 putter (cat A) and 1 wedge (cat B) or 1 putter (cat A) and 1 iron (cat C).

Martinis , first time i ever saw one was about 45 years ago when we mustered up the courage to ask my father ''could we have a look at his guns '' ,where my older brother would unlock the holy of holies  and he would show them to us ,three were martinis, a Sportco 22  ,a Greener GP gun 12 guage he bought brand new [my father told me years later, my mother wasnt happy about this purchase, but put his foot down and bought it ] and a cut down 310   
,i thought right back then they were a clever design and ingenious ,have had several 310s and one Greener GP that was colour case hardened and looked real good ,another ''should have kept it '' ,the only thing i dont like about them, is cleaning them ,you can have a gunsmith drill the rear of the receiver to make this easier ,this can be a pain or not  depends  on the owner ,my father bought another and had it converted to 22 magnum with the original full cadet stock and i really like it ! i will always have one

That is one super sweet cadet Singleshotsam..  Would love to have that with one of the old straight tube Zeiss scopes on it.
