TH44,

That is a really nice rifle. I'm also curious. Do you shoot it? And how does it shoot. I've never owned a Snider but understand there are some challenges in loading the ammo.

Ross Seyfried wrote an article on the Snider some years ago for the Double Gun Journal, and in it he discussed the loading issues.

Another interesting feature of your rifle. I can't recall ever seeing bar action locks on a breechloader that are non-rebounding. Certainly that's my shortcoming because here they are! Is it possible this is a converted muzzleloader or maybe the locks were originally made to be used on a muzzleloader? I know so very little about the guns and rifles made in and around the transition from muzzleloading to breechloading.

I would like to see a photo of the barrel flats and proof marks.

Thank you very much for posting this beautiful and interesting double rifle.
