The C broad arrow was used until the early 1950’s, but not sure when the C should of service marking stoppped being used. Observationally, I would say the 1920’s some time, but that’s just based on the dates of observed rifles I have seen and when they were likely sold.
Many sniders would have been surplused before the C-arrow came into use. You sometimes see M&D marked sniders with British style opposing arrows, or no sale marks at all.

From what I understand the last place any sniders saw service was at the royal military colleges in Kingston, Saint Jean and Royal Rhodes as ceremonial arms.
Not sure when that ended.
Some are still in use at the fort in Kingston, but with parks Canada.
