Picked up this little gem yesterday.
3 band Snider MkII**, DC marked (Dominion of Canada) and regiment marked to the 49th Hastings Volunteer Battalion of Rifles based in Belleville, ON. The 49th Hastings was an Infantry Battalion when first formed in 1866, but was redesignated as a Rifle Battalion in 1871.
The bore is pretty good. A little frosted near the muzzle but strong rifling throughout.
The bayonet (came with the snider) seems to be marked to the 74th Battalion, New Brunswick Rangers, Rifle No. 100.
Rather happy with this one. Will go nicely with my EIC F Pattern musket, BC Regiment marked Martini MkIII and my Brunswick rifle
Oh... and the original P1853 musket it was converted from was made in 1864 according to the lock plate.

1945 made Mauser receiver too, probably one of the last ones to be made while the Third Reich's flag was still flying over Berlin.
The Israeli's certainly went crazy tapping the eagle by the looks of it as well.
You have a nice project that I am envious of, make sure to keep us updated with pictures as you go along.

This is a little bit more of 'Cadet' Surplus than milsurp....but what the heck, it can pass.
a Cooey Model 82 Trainer. Picked it up from Jean Plamondon, and i just got it 2 days ago, havn't been able to go and test it out yet though.
And in my own Opinion, it feels exactly like a No4Mk1 Enfield(minus the .303nish) It was a Training rifle after all.
