Information
The Martini-Henry rifle is a lever-action breech loading rifle developed as a quick loading cartridge rifle for use with the British Army. The weapon saw extensive service in the Zulu conflict and remained in use until it was phased out by bolt action Enfield repeating rifles and Maxim machine guns. It uses a unique bullet, a cartridge built using a .577 brass casing pinched down onto a .45 caliber .450 bullet to fit the chamber. The head spacing in the chamber must have been pretty poor to fit a round with several crimps in the case, but it proved reliable and effective for the time it served.
