The Snider Enfield conversion system for Enfield 1853 rifled musket muzzle loading arms was adopted in 1866. This conversion of a muzzleloading to cartridge conversion was invented by the American Jacob Snider, and his design was widely copied. While the early guns were converted, later guns were newly manufactured. The stock on this example has been sanded and no longer has a visible maker's cartouche. Trigger reach is 13-1/2" to fit a average size shooter in the late 19th century. Weight is 6.6 pounds.

The .577 bore is rifled with three wide lands and shallow grooves. The bore is mostly bright, but does have visible pitting behind the muzzle and along the grooves. The barrel is 19" including the action. This early cartridge gun was made well before SAAMI standards and we have found the chamber dimensions can vary on these early cartridge guns.

The walnut stock has a reddish undertone. The stock has been sanded which removed the cartouche mark. The stock still has many scattered handling marks and pressure dents. The wood has also shrunk leaving the buttplate standing above the stock. It does not have a visible cartouche on the buttstock. The stock has a drying crack extending back from the tang of the breech plug approximately 7/8". The buttplate has a small round trapdoor that opens to reveal a drilled cavity to store the cleaning rod. No cleaning rod is included. The buttstock has slender profile. The buttplate has a long narrow comb. The breech block is stamped with the III noting a later version with the spring catch on the door. The door and action have various proof marks.

The Enfield triggerguard is mounted with a combination of pins and screws. The rear of the triggerguard has a crack the upper most retaining screw on the thin web along the edges around the screw. The front has a unfilled hole from the mount for a nipple protector. The side panel is fitted with two washer style sideplates. The side panel has a few dents and dings.

The Enfield style lock is marked Enfield over 1871 on the lock plate. The tail of the lock is stamped with a crown over V.R. The lock has a secure half cock and full cock notch. The firing pin moves freely under spring tension. The cartridge extractor move correctly. The breech block has a exposed thumb lever with checkered panel. Lift this block to the right of the rifle to expose the breech, it is held in place by a spring detent that engages the rear of the breech block.
