I had one of those and enjoyed it very much. The barrel and receiver are one piece. I believe the barrel came lined with a famous liner whose name escapes me at the moment. Ah, looked it up here: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

My Vickers Martini 1st model has he barrel and receiver as one solid pice (although they might well be two separate pieces welded together from a thin discolored line at the breech end of the barrel)

Yes, guaranteed, the barrel and receiver are one solid piece. The action dismounts easily by removing one screw.
