Fixed - if you copy the img link like you did, you don't need to then use the insert img tab.
More details on bore condition, function, other markings etc will help with getting info. Especially serial numbers, stamps, and odd markings around reciever or butt stock.
What info are you looking for on it? Value? Manufacture? Date of Manufacture? Caliber/chambering?

Can anyone give me info on this gun ? Google makes my eyes hurt.

Thanks H Wally !!
I'm looking for any or all info about this gun because I know nothing about it. Theres lots of markings on it but they don't show up very good in my pic's.
I would say gun is VG condition but I believe it has been rubbed with linseed oil. I'll try to get better pic's

Thomas Turner was a gun maker in Birmingham England from 1834.His Snider rifles were purchased by volunteers as they were not issued any firearms.
I have one in very good condition with the Morris cartridge adapter and it was valued at $2,000.00 for the gun and $1,000.00 by the English auction house Holts 3 years ago.

PM sent to you. Rifle is a great piece of British and Canadian history which will be a hoot to shoot. How is the lock plate marked? Please show a photo of the left side of the breech. These were marketed here in Canada in the late 1800's. TT is one of the premier makers of assembled rifles but he also made barrels for many others in the trade. I have one here which is in "as new" condition. Lockplate on mine is TT marked but I have a friend who has one with a TT barrel which has a lockplate marked to a Toronto retailer so it will be interesting to do some research on yours. Dave
