The Martini Cadet is a centrefire single-shot rifle produced in the United Kingdom by BSA and W.W. Greener for the use of Australian military Cadets.〔.(Digger History )〕 Based on a miniature version of the Martini–Henry it was internally different. Chambered for the .310 Cadet also known as the .310 Greener, they were also sold to the public as the BSA No.4, 4a, 4b and 5 in other calibres like the .297/230 and .22 rimfire. The rifles will often chamber the similarly sized .32-20 Winchester and fire with some accuracy.〔(Martini Gallery )〕 However the 32/20 is actually 0.312 cal and the 310 is 0.323 cal. Due to this 10 thousandths difference the accuracy of a .32/20 round cannot be guaranteed.〔Cartridges of The World by Frank C. Barnes〕 After being sold by the Australian government many were converted to sporting or target rifles, often re-barrelled to calibres like .22 Hornet, .218 Bee, .25-20 Winchester, .222 Rimmed, .357 Magnum and others to .22 rimfire by gun makers like Sportco.〔(Rifleman UK )〕 ==See also== *British military rifles *Martini–Henry *Martini–Enfield *Sporterising 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martini Cadet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
