BSA 1872 Snider-Enfield Mark III Rifle 577 Snider

Snider-Enfield Mark III rifle manufactured by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA).

Has the Manufacturer (B.S.A. Co) stamped clearly on side lockplate. Plus the Crown over VR (for Queen Victoria)..

BSA was a major commercial contractor for the British War Department and foreign governments (like Canada).
Early Mark I and Mark II Sniders were direct conversions of muzzle-loading 1853 Enfield percussion muskets. By 1872, BSA was manufacturing Mark III Sniders , which were newly built from scratch.

Condition is as shown - Lots of wear is seen on the hardwood stock but no cracks.
The metal surfaces are all dark patina and does show some lines ontop of receiver and barrel.
Front and rear swivels are in place.
Barrel is dark with some surface rust showing. Ramrod is missing.
Rear sight is missing too.
Stamping on lock plate and rear stock is well defined.
Firing pin protector is missing but the chain retaining ring is still in place
on the trigger guard.

An overall nice Antique piece that does not require a PAL to own.
