By "miniature" do you mean carbine length?

Oh - Snider. For some reason I was thinking "Johnson"

Yes there are miniature Sniders. They were built by some of the better independant makers in England. Some are chambered for the Rook Rifle family of cartridges which are much smaller than the 577 Snider and most are quite well made. Dave

Are we really talking about Sniders here are is it the cadet mini Martinis of which many sold sold post WWII mailorder in USA.

A picture of a mini Snider action would really be interesting!

I've seen mini-Sniders in rook calibres. Cute little rifles, generally very nicely made.
