Looking for a Snider short rifle or Carbine...

[Tim Lyne]

"Shooter grade", good/great bore, tight breech, tight lock, condition of wood can be marginal to horrible. Would prefer the "locking" breech, but not necessary.
I would consider a "project" as long as it's not Nepalese, Farsi, or looks like it has been fine-tuned with a ballpeen or drug behind a camel. Looking for a Brit made gun.

Must be something out there...

Thanks!

Tim,

There seem to be more of the cavalry carbines available presently than artillery carbines with the longer forearm, but there are a few short rifles that appear from time to time (and on this side of the pond).
