.303 MARTINI-METFORD Description
Conversion of .450 M.H. with Metford rifling, converted markings are stamped on left side of receiver. Artillery models marked "A.C." with Mark number on left side of receiver, Cavalry models marked "C.C." followed by the Mark number. Martini-Metfords (marked "M.M .303" on left side of action body) are much rarer than Martini-Enfield models (marked "M.E. .303"), as they were made only between 1889 and 1895, with more carbines converted than rifles.
A small number of rifles were converted only for the colonies of Natal, South Australia, Western Australia and Canada.
