Does anyone know of any good alternatives (Lego or third-party) for the Martini-Henry rifle? As the quintessential "rifle of empire," I was surprised not to find it on Brickarms' website. The closest I've been able to come is this, which admittedly would look better in reddish brown:

 

Victorian British Soldier

To more closely resemble a Martini-Henry, the rifle was modified by cutting off the hammer and "pistol grip," leaving just enough for the minifigure's hand to clip onto.

Any other suggestions?

(I know this rifle [1870s-1890s] is somewhat beyond the Pirates forum's historical range, but, as the Historic Themes forum seems to be dominated by the Medieval period, I thought I might get more ideas here!)
