Snider Carbine .577 P-1853 Mark I

Good morning Bill,

You have some very nice pictures of the little carbine.
Being so light they jump a bit when fired, but are lovely little guns,

The first Snider I had was Given to me, a total wreck, shoe mashed in with a hammer, so block wouldn't close,. Barrel bent, wood missing around lock mortice, no lock.

Got him all fixed up and he shoots very well. (Called him Lazarus, 'cos he was raised from the dead!)
I am sure your carbine will be fine to shoot. being in Much much better condition, and they hadnt been used much in Nepal.

Let us know how it goes!

Richard.
