Snider parts Source

[stevejones]

Hope some one out there can help me out with this. I have a MK2 Snider that has lost its breech block axis pin and the 2 part breech block spring cover. The axis pin has been replaced with a bolt and consequently the breech block does not axis properly. I have been told that the gun is unsafe to fire which confirmed my first impression. If anyone knows a source and in addition if it could be determined if the parts I need can come from a MK1 or MK3 or do I need the parts specifically for the MK2.

Cheers. Steve.

Just a caution. The parts on the IMA site are taken from The Nepalese Cache arms. Some Nep Snider rifles used Brit made recievers, but some were home spun. So you might not get a Brit made spare, it might need work to make it fit.
