  • Do the brass shells just use a shot gun primer?

  • @hatter78 Large pistol primer

  • FYI: I've seen several over the years that have split at the breech half way between mouth of chamber and back of receiver. I have some custom factory rounds $6/each. What size ball w/ 28ga load? .577 (like for a .58cal Enfield, Zouve or Springfield) Also do you use a filler? Thx

  • @cleoshepardchou I seldom shoot the 28/24ga loads anymore. I custom make my own rounds from magtech 24ga Brass. I use 85gr powder and a newsprint wad. The only Snider's I have ever heard of having a failure is the Mark1 and MarkII (probably due to the Iron barrel) I have a Mark III (steel barrel)

see all

  • @JSLegoMaster its like it infact the trapdoor was also a conversion when it first came out thay converted muzzleloaders but thay had to reline the barrels to .50-70 and then in the .45-70

  • @fishblade2 no replicas of the snider rifle only real deals the ones at IMA are made in nepal although thay do follow the mk 3 type breech block witch is a bit stronger theres always the chance of getting a non shooter (ie somethings wrong with it) when buying a untouched gun

  • This is very simlar working as the Trapdoor rifle, only difference beeing that this opens at the side, trapdoor up front.

  • Fighting the Boar wars are we?

  • @fishblade2

    It is the British Army's first metallic cartridge rifle from the 1800's. The first ones were factory conversions of the muzzle-loading Enfield rifled musket that our own CSA smuggled in in large numbers from Britain in the Civil War.

    The Snider was a stopgap measure that was soon replaced by the Martini-Henry rifle.

  • @ClaudiaSnider what about the replica. How exactly do you spell this?
