Howdy all,
I'm a newbie to BP firearms in general, but I've decided that I really want a Snider Enfield rifle, due to the coolness factor and how easy they are to load for. To this end, I've basically sold myself on the IMA Cleaned and Completed Snider rifles. I was curious if anyone had any experience with these. I know that they are mechanically functional, but in general, how shootable are they (again, just asking for generalities here)? I'm planning on taking this to my local gunsmith to have him check it over and see if it is safe to fire. Now, I know that most gunsmiths won't have particular knowledge on the Snider Enfield, but is that particular knowledge necessary for determining safety?
Also, does anyone have any recommendations/tips/information concerning these rifles that would be helpful for someone just starting out to know?
I appreciate everyone's time, and thanks in advance for any answers!
Best wishes,
