Snider Enfield Restoration

lawrence: Personally I think your best bet might be to buy a solid "cadet carbine" to use as a parts source. Ellwood Epps has one for sale pretty cheap right now. The cost of buying small parts from Dyson adds up pretty fast. Regarding IMA, their Sniders (and I assume parts) are strictly Nepalese and may not fit a British ordnance issue rifle. Regarding the breech block- if your rifle is a Mk II*, be aware that the Mk II** had alterations to the precise form of the block and shoe. I don't know if a Mk II** block will fit into an unmodified Mk II* shoe as I've never tried to swap them. Have this question answered before buying a Mk II** block. Good luck with it!

Then it could always be re-sold to someone hungry for a cadet...
