Info

The Snider-Enfield rifle series, made mainly in Long Infantry Rifle, Short Rifle (for Seargents and rifle regiments) and Cavalry Carbine configurations, was introduced in 1866 as a conversion for Pattern 1853 Rifle Muskets to breech loading, though some would later be newly made. Though only used by the British regular army from 1866 to 1873, it was used by Volunteers and colonial units until the turn of the century.
