British gunmaker Richard Barnes and his team are looking at building a 470 or 375 double rifle on the Beesley Shotover design. They would like to examine a gun if someone is willing to let them have a look. Richard served at Purdey for 25 years, and then worked at Boss and then at Holland and Holland before building guns in his own name.

If someone here could help, please let me know, and I would be happy to put you in touch with him. And, if someone would like to put their name down for possibly the first such gun in 70 plus years, they would be welcome to talk to him. I plan to talk to a very reputable authority on fine guns to consider doing an article on this new gun. As you might guess, I do not expect the gentleman to refuse to do it.

Thank you in advance for any assistance, and good hunting!
