She saw it and said lets go! One hour later I have my first C&R gun. Below are pictures of the actual gun.
Has anyone ever shot one of these? I am going to the range this week with it. |
Nice rifle, I have a 1883 Snider rifle which I inherited when my father passed away. It has been sitting around for 26 years, so recently I got courious about it orgin and did some research. Snider was taken over by Enfield Rifle Co. of England. The rifle was used in several wars in Europe & Africia. Will Post pictures.
