    Snider-Enfield parts wanted

    Wanted for two-band Snider-Enfields.

    Clearing rod (ramrod). The type that has the squared jag end, not the round profile. (2 required)

    Rear-sight ladder or just the slider bar. (1 required)

    Original parts only please, not repro or Nepali, and without WD markings.

    Thanks Andy for the suggestion. the last time I tried Dyson he didn't have any original 2-band rods or swivels and he only sold complete rear sights. His website still shows the swivels as out of stock.

    I'd rather wait and buy exactly what I want either from an individual or at an arms fair, and not compromise on getting the correct parts.

    Graeme was able to supply the swivels. I'm still looking for the clearing rods and rearsight slider (or ladder and slider) as in post 1 above.
