Product Overview
This Secondhand Birmingham Small Arms Cadet .310 is in an overall good condition given its age and history. There are some cosmetic usage imperfections as can be seen in pics.
In 1910 the Australian Commonwealth Government introduced a system of universal cadet training, and issued the States with what is now known as the .310 Martini Cadet Rifle. These employed the Francotte Patent, and were made in the UK by both Greener and B.S.A. Differing from the .310 Westley Richards Cadet rifle by employed the Francotte patent martini action, the Greener and BSA Cadets can be found carrying the markings of any of the Australian states.
This item is stamped for use by the Victoria military forces. The models were phased out in 1921 when the cadet forces began being issued with the standard Australian military Lee Enfield rifles.
