Snider Carbine
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2019 11:00 pm
For sale is my Snider carbine. It is in excellent shooting condition and comes with its sling. It is not currently on ticket.
£800 collected from Hampshire/Surrey (anywhere from Ringwood to Bisley), or can be posted at cost.
It is dated 1855 with a Tower lock and the barrel is stamped 'JOSEPH BOURNE & SON, BIRMINGHAM'.
The bore has strong rifling with only a small patch of pitting. The lock and action are tight and function correctly and still show the case hardening.
I am only letting this go as I am now shooting a 3 band on my 577 slot.
