Army & Navy .470 - Webley 1902

Thank you for sharing the classy rifle. Those old british singles are very appealing to the eye. At the weight it should be a bit sporty on recoil but not vicious. What do you plan on hunting with it?

Thanks Dave. The plan is to work on some load development for it, with the longer term goal being a buffalo/banteng hunt in NT.

I have a few A&N guns. The A&N CSL was basically a department store for officers going to all parts of the Empire. Their guns were solid and went everywhere.
Their gun records are available at the University of Glasgow. They may give you more specifics on its origins and owner.

Mine was a 450 but it had been modified before I bought it and I had it rebarreled to 500NE.
Not that bad at all to shoot.
