Hi Buddy will keep that in mind however I want imortality to be on the westley richards register manufactred 1907 restored 1915 for Mr S Blakely

Can't fault you in the slightest for that, and it's the best place she could go.

1915???? thought you had spent all your beer money on .318`s

He's just like the rest of us lost souls, a century behind!

Ahh to be back in 1915 a couple of 1000 solids and elephant ever where no day fees no trophy fees ...just profit one pound to one £1.00 for the ivory. ... a man could be happy there .....

Update on the 318WR turnbolt - Westley Richards report states as follows

The rifle has been restocked rechambered , rebarreled and the action modified for the 8x57 recaliber

The cost of restoring the rifle would exceed the cost of purchasing a new rifle !

So seems like the old girl will remain as an 8x57 at least for now

However have had a respected UK gunsmith with whom I have existing business said he would have a look at it !


So further update next month

so only the modified action left from the original..............makes that .404 i told you about seem like a bargain
