[1] Although considered a miniature version of the Martini–Henry, the internal mechanism was redesigned by Auguste Francotte to permit removal from the receiver as a single unit.

Chambered for the .310 Cadet cartridge (aka: .310 Greener), it was used from 1891 to 1955.

The rifles will often chamber the similarly sized .32-20 Winchester and fire with some accuracy.

Due to this 10 thousandths difference the accuracy of a .32/20 round cannot be guaranteed.

[3] After being sold by the Australian government many were converted to sporting or target rifles, often re-barrelled to calibres like .22 Hornet, .218 Bee, .25-20 Winchester, .222 Rimmed, .357 Magnum and others to .22 rimfire by gun makers like Sportco.
