Original British Victorian P-1866 Snider MkIII Prison Service Smoothbore Tower Short Rifle - lock dated 1859 Sales The decal is approximately 80%Original item: Only one Available. We just received this very nice example from the estate of a longtime customer. This is a very nice late production Two Band Snider Short rifle. The barrel measures 26 1 2" overall and was made smoothbore especially for prison service. The fixed back sight is the tell tale giveaway of this having been a prison service weapon, which was used more as a shotgun than a rifle. This very nice example is marked 1859 TOWER
