QGA Snider

[tacfoley]

I'm hoping that a knowledgeable person here can tell me about this lovely two-band Snider that I'm shooting in this Youtube movie -

In addition to the usual DC in a diamond on the stock, it has the letters Q G A stamped at the base of the left-hand side of the butt and what might be a rack number [?] - in a triangular fashion that I cannot reproduce here-

Q

G A

1 0 2

I'm about to inherit this rifle, and I'm keen to find out anything I can about it - so your help would be much appreciated.

TIA

Thought so! Just the type of arm used by gunners who don't have a need for a full-sized rifle.

Thanks!
