1859 Enfield Conversion to 577 Snider Breech Loading Rifle

The 1860s were an interesting and exciting time in firearms development. Countries
were transitioning from muzzleloaders to cartridge rifles. The American Civil War
highlighted everything from muzzleloaders to Gatling guns.
Many European countries utilized various conversions, including Great Britain,
which used the Snider conversion

THE ORIGINAL IDEA WAS REJECTED BY THE U.S. … SO SNIDER SOLD IT TO
BRITAIN

This is one of th eunits that had the conversion done to it.

Condition is an issue here and a complete retoration could be made to bring the gun
back to life.
Bore seems ok and it functions as it should.

Surface corrosion and simple layers of dirt over the years has given this gun its dull loo.

Wood is still sound and metal only suffers from surface dirt.
