What would you expect it to sell for, Dig?
I seem to remember 32-20 Win ammunition will work in that lovely little gun.

.310 Cadet ammo is not difficult to make because the brass is available. I had a Cadet rifle at one time. My boys loved it, especially when they saw "Zulu" and realized it was a mini-Martini. That is one cool little gun.

Wow!
.310 wouldn't be my first choice for emus, but may give satisfactory service for drop-bears...
The .310 is really forgiving to handload, surprisingly accurate. Love the cartridge and the small frame BSA martini rifles, but this...!

The estimate is likely to be in the region of 7,000 - 9,000.
He also had a mint, cased Churchill double boxlock in .22 rimfire.

That is one little gem; I shudder to think of the price. I noticed that Holts had a Holland & Holland double .300 hammer Rook rifle that had belonged to Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey that someone had unwisely bored out to double .410. Thank goodness that this is still original. Can't have made many of those. Lagopus.....

Just look at the finish and detail, quite something.

A lot of nice rifles were bored out to a shotgun bore. Radcliffe's of Colchester had a Farquharson 450 falling block bored to 28 bore. Well, at leat it could be used.

It's cool. I want it.
Oh, and what's it good for?
What does one actually shoot with a .310 Cadet? Is this a .22 rimfire equivalent as far as stopping power? (acknowledging that it has a larger bullet, of course)
