W.Richards .577 Snider
09/11/07 08:10 AM

Hi,
Some friends ask me to post pictures of my double rifles.
This is my W.Richards (Liverpool) the rifle, a .577 Snider was made around 1870. W.Richards is not a Westley Richards.
Some time ago I bought it as it was the first double rifle I saw. It was the first of many rifles I restore until I realize that it was cheaper to but them in good condition. LOL
The rifle was almost destroyed but the price was low enough and barrels are almost mint. Serial number was erased, only two last digits (19) on locks, so could not get information from W:Richards
It was restocked and reblued.
I have not find a good load yet but the information on “britishmilitaryforum” is very promising but I have been trying to make my Pedersoli Kodiak regulate and had no range time for the Snider. The W.Richards is next one.
This rifle feels much lighter than the Kodiak even thou it is only 1 pound lighter.
Something that puzzles me is the dog on the action as it is a small game hunting dog on a big game rifle.

Thanks
Martin
