I good friend of mine an ex Brit has 4 of these and one he had converted to 45-70. Now for some history that nearly every American has not idea off. In 1866 the Feenhigan Brotherhood , Irish imigrants fromI Ireland tried to take Canada to barter for the release of Ireland from British rule, the battle of Ridgeway heights followed in Ontario, no matter what anybody says it was a draw so the US came and collected the Feehnigans took them back to the US. The next year the Irish brotherhood tried again from Vermont. By that time the British had equiped the Canadian Militia with Snieder 577 rifles , 40,000 of them were sent. With the combination of Scnieders and Ballards (bought by the farmers on Quebec from their Vermont friends ) and crushed the Irish Brotherhood at the border of Vermont and Quebec. A cannon was captured from the Irish and it now stands at the border crossing on a pedistal as a testimate to the power of the Scnieder 577. Ps the Irish came 2 more times and each time they were decimated by the Scnieder 577.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Oops! I see I said Martini Cadets. I meant to say Martini Henry guns.
