CANADIAN Antique B.S.A. Co. MKII* Snider Enfield
Converted to Carbine Format Dated “1866”
Here we present an antique B.S.A. Co. MKII* Snider Enfield Carbine, made in 1866. The British military, like many militaries of the day, was in the process of updating its arsenal from single shot percussion muskets to breech-loading cartridge rifles. Rather than retire all of their existing muskets at once and choosing a completely new platform the government opted to adopt and install a breech-loading conversion. The result was still a large bore, single shot rifle, but it could be loaded much more quickly and efficiently than ramming a ball down from the front. They went on to see use throughout the world in colonies and commonwealth.
This is an example of a MKII*. It was once a rifle but was converted to carbine length. It is marked “DC” inside a diamond on the left side of the stock, the mark of the Dominion of Canada. The right side is marked “R CROWN M/ENFIELD” in a circle over “1”. In front of the hammer it is marked “II*” and ‘B.S.A.Co”. On the right side of the frame it has “CROWN/V.R.” and “B.S.A.Co/1866/CROWN”.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces and covered in a smooth, dark patina. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is clear and bright. The stock shows extensive use and remains solid. The action is excellent.
