Slowshot:

Get your gunsmith to remove the breechblock/firing group assembly and drill a hole in the rear of the receiver of about 0.25" diameter in line with the bore. That's the standard way to deal with cleaning a Martini action from the rear.

If you don't want to do that, those boresnake cleaning assemblies let you feed the string down the barrel from the breech end and pull straight through. It helps to have a second set of hands holding the rifle in place if you don't have a vise that keeps the rifle from moving while you're pulling the device straight out from the barrel.
