British Snider .577 obsolete calibre rifles:

The Snider, a bit of a development mule that was adopted by the British army for around 5 years before they figured the Martini Henry was a lot better! The Snider was a simple development of the mid 1800`s Tower musket (the early ones were actually just converted Towers) by fitting a flip open breach into which you sloted a cartridge - problem was there was no facility to help with extraction, think burnt fingers and broken nails... these are all Obsolete Calibre - that is, they have full working actions and barrels, but you can no longer get the ammo so no license is required to own one.

Choose your British Snider from the following selection:


Obsolete Snider 3 band rifle, Lacey and Co London:


British Enfield Snider 3 band rifle:

Blimey, this British Syder 3 band rifle is a bit of a stunner, undated but has the early type damascuss barrel, made in London by Lacy and Co. and in really good condition (Sniders spent many years unloved in reserves and often suffer), Original woodwork (minor bit of old worm on one side of the butt, nothing to worry about) with British Army stamp on the butt and a handfull of small Nepalese markings, excellent steel metalwork and barrel also has an excellent bore and full working action. Obsolete calibre so live but no license required.
