Junk or not.
My accountant rang and after the usual regarding my tax. He says " I've got two old guns here for you one is the sort you load with a stick the other has a lever with an ammo belt and really big bullets. The lever won't move there a bit rusty the guy who owned them died 30yrs ago and they have benn lying under his house since then." Junk or not I'll find out on friday when I collect them. The muzzle loader could be anything I'm hopeful the lever may be a Martini-Henry 577-450.

Even it if they're rooted as a firearm they could still be restored cosmetically for wall hangers

The Martini Henry is a Khyber pass gun but the decoration is solid silver.

What a shame they were just thrown under the house!:wtfsmilie:
Great score all the same tho :cool:

That is AWESOME, you lucky bugger
No chance either is fireable?

If the action on the martini is ok you could re barrel the actions are fairly robust
-
Or clean them up, apply varnish and make wall hangers
-
With a bit more work both will go bang but I would be pulling the trigger with a long string. At this stage they will be wall hangers .

So the inside of the barrels are ok? Load the 577/450 with a SPANZ cartridge 60 grains over 85 got some brass if you wAnt
