Just got this in : Royal Canadian Regiment Enfield Snider Short Rifle Mk.1*
. The Snider was first issued to Canadian forces in 1867 when a shipment of 30,000 rifles arrived from Great Britain in August. The shipment consisted of 28,500 Mk. I long rifles and 1,500 Mk. I short rifles (this example being one of them) Any comments welcome. Here are the pics.

Always liked the in between length of these compared to the long rifles and short carbines. Saw a very few in the afghan bazaars, usually pretty beat. I ended up buying the best condition snider rifle I could find ( along with a handful of p53's martinis and lebels ) these old rifles are a hoot to shoot

Beautiful rifle. One of the last military issue muzzle loaders, right?

Very nice!
