My new short sporter has arrived. Mechanically it is the best one I have had. The action is tight, the barrels bore is very good and it is hard to find pitting anywhere. The stock was sanded heavy all...

Hi Ryan, did you get this new Snider from Accuracy Plus in Ontario? I got my latest Snider from them and they were advertising a cutdown for $250 as well so I was wondering if this is all a...

Branko my friend, indeed I did, the better of the 2 was gone when I called. That was you eh? This is a good little gun for $250 but the wood is disappointing. -Ryan

Hello Ryan, Yes it was me I had to scoop it, a genuine cavalry carbine for $500 could not be left alone. I was going to sell it but that did not work out. You can see the pictures I just posted them....

Yes, pics please! Good to know the metalwork is all up to snuff. The wood does sound a bit sobering, but you could always use the wood off one of your others 'till some more turns up if it is too bad....

As I read these prices you are getting these for I am in awe! Then it dawns on me, is this Canadian rather than US dollars?

Pictures have been taken but will take a while to get loaded and posted. The stock is servicable, it is just that I don't like all the metal protruding from the stock like it is. At first I thought of...

Ryan, I am shocked that I managed to get pictures up before you, and here I am thinking of myself as such a Luddite. gkrank1, Yes these prices are not usual especially for a cavalry carbine, when I...

Ryan, that is a nice cutdown, even though the chrome is a little goofy, and the wood a bit too enthusiastically sanded. I had a cut down that had all the brass chromes and I took it to an...

I replaced the chrome breech block return spring covers with proper ones from my parts bin tonight. I don't have a spare barrel band so the chrome one might be on there for a long time. I thought that...

God!! that action looks like it could have been made 5 years ago, Is the chamber as "pardon me" near sublime? Very nice!

Very nice, Ryan! This was a good buy! the metal's all in very nice order. The wood doesn't look as bad as I thought. You may be able to deepen the inlet for the buttplate tang, and sink it a bit...

Chamber and bore are quite nice. The best of the 3 Snider's. The bore has a minimal amount of light scuffing, but for the most part shows sharp rifling and a nice shine right from breech to muzzle. No...

I managed to get the buttplate tang sitting flush today, and made up a snap cap and chain for it as well. Not a bad project for Victoria Day. When I get some time in the next week, I will post a...

Very nice catch, Ryan, and for $250, heck, the lock and shoe are worth that by themselves. I'd have left the chromed parts on--everybody needs at least one tart in the collection, right? Mine is a...
