On the subject of Martinis, just for fun here's a photo of my Enfield Martini-Henry .577-450:

I'm loading my rounds using formed CBC 24 ga. brass, a 480 grain bullet, paper patched, 85 grains of genuine black powder, some wadding to take up extra space, and a generous grease cookie underneath. My results are good. Here is a 50 yard target.

And here's the same load at 100 yards.

On a later date I tried upping the load to 95 grains, and here is the result along with the chronograph readout.

My Martini-Henry is not pretty, but it does have an almost unblemished bore. You can see it shoots quite well, considering the coarse battle sights.

Here's one last picture - one of the seller's pictures when I bought the rifle.

A Martini is a boatload of fun! I think the rifle being offered (the subject of this thread) has a lot of appeal. I don't want my critical comments to be cold water thrown on that company's project. My hat is off to them.
