Hello CptCurl,

Thanks for the reply.

I appreciate your going into such detail about my rifle's construction. According to the "Alexander Henry, Rifle Maker" book, all double rifle actions produced after Alex Martin acquired the Henry name, were made for them (either partial or complete) by others in the Birmingham gun trade.

I was hoping the "clipped spade" rib extension with the hidden 3rd bite, and perhaps the chopper lump construction, might be a clue as to the maker. So far I havent't found any other makes with that clipped spade rib extension. Is it possible that Webley made actions for the trade that had fewer embellishments than others?

It really makes no difference because I like the rifle's "look" and balance, but it would be interesting to know how it came to be.

Are there any other features that I might examine to determine the possible maker?
