I should add that there are many Snider rifles of different models circulating here in collecters hands and regular competitions among collecters who also shoot antique guns are held specifically for these. Ammunition to suit is hand loaded using brass cases. Original cases were of course paper. Safety is of course paramount so those guns used are well checked before use. Many years ago I did have a barrel bust when shooting one, but am relieved to say that there were no injuries sustained except to the weapon itself.
