Original British Victorian P-1866 Snider MkIII Prison Service Smoothbore Short Rifle by B.S.A. Co. - dated 1871 Japanese Replica Maj Hubert AOriginal item: Only one Available. We just received this very nice example from the estate of a longtime customer. This is a very nice late production Two Band Snider Short rifle. The barrel measures 26 1 2" overall and was made smoothbore especially for prison service. The fixed back sight is the tell tale giveaway of this having been a prison service weapon, which was used more as a shotgun than a rifle. This very nice example is marked B. S. A. Co.
