Snider collectors?Parts sources

Parts can be found, you just have to hunt and have patience. I see them at gun shows a lot. I ended up buying a parts rifle. Barrel and stock cut. I have found a few pieces when buying other parts and they happened to be in the bow. I went after 71/84 Mauser parts one time and found snider bands and a nose piece for my 303 martini in the box. Sometimes you find stuff when you least expect it.
One or two commercial sellers usually have complete Snider locks for sale for around $150.00. If yours is an ordnance "interchangeable" Snider you may be able to simply substitute parts from another ordnance lock.
