Another very interesting Rook Rifle - a Mini Snider in 360 #5 caliber.
This is another one of my cute little Rooks. Its a scaled-down Snider Action.
I've just started to get ready to shoot it. Surprisingly, I've discovered the cartridges can be made from 38 Long Colt. In fact, it will shoot 38 Long Colt ammo just fine.
The wood is really dark and the nice grain doesn't show up very well in my pics. I'll add better pictures as I get them.
I can find no maker's name on the rifle, unless its Snider itself. There is a small oval that reads; "Snider's Patent" and a couple of arrows through an "S". The bottom of the hook-breach barrel has British proofs, and a "105" which I assume is the British gauge for 360 caliber.
And as usual, your comments are most welcome.
