.310 Martini Cadet
#391831 - 01/06/25 02:14 PM

Howdy Team
Ive just acquired a .310 BSA Martini Cadet to use in Rook Rifle at SSAA BGRC.
The Serial number is 33384.
As best as I can ascertain it was made between 1909 and 1940.
Does anyone know how I might nail down a more accurate date of manufacture?
Cheers and thanks in advance

Hi there,

I am pretty sure that all the 310 Cadet Martini rifles were made about 1910, and delivered to Australia in 1911. Most of them have a date stamp in the woodwork on the right hand side, which also may tell you which State they were issued to.

They shoot well - have fun!

Bidy,
AR2205 was available at our gunshop the other day!
It was in 1kg bottles.
Bloody expensive but the right stuff for your Martini, are you casting your own or getting projectiles?
