Snider cavalry carbine

[mel h]

Only the Québec Garrison Artillery Short rifle has such a protector. If you PM me I'll do a couple of pics for you to see how it looks. Peter Dyson makes a reasonable replication, BTW. The square section that fits over the nipple has a substantial leather pad inserted into it on which the hammer rests.

It's a crying shame that a cartridge-firing rifle of such a rare calibre has to be on an FAC to shoot the darn thing - it's not as though the average crim would even dream of using such a prehistoric firearm in a mugging of store-rob....Living where I do I don't have any of mine on FAC, although I've certainly shot them. The QGA rifle belonged to a fellow club member who gave it to me as a birthday gift - you can see it in action on tac's guns Snider [Youtube]. I even have a set of dies, not that I'll ever use them - a. because I can't, and b. because they fit in the large diameter press thread.

If the pin protector is the same as the one used with nipples it's no problem I have a friend that has some Percussion Enfield's with nipple protectors so measuring one up's not a problem, or getting a one from Peter Dyson, I would though, appreciate some more details of the leather part.
Thanks for the link, I enjoyed seeing one in action. I've added a link to a picture of my Two band, it would make a lovely shooter.
