Francotte Martini.

Picked up a Francotte Martini in 22 Hornet yesterday which I bought on line.
Pretty good condition but different from another Francotte I have, the innards are held in place not with a screw but a lever which locks everything up. Real neat idea. Other parts are also slightly different as well.
The numbers on the action and octagon barrel do not match and it probably comes from another rifle, the barrel has what looks like proof marks but not the action.
The breach block has been nicely bushed and a smaller firing pin.
Perhaps some comments as these two Francotte's are the only ones I have ever handled.
