500 Nitro,

The Facile Princeps has been described as weight for weight the strongest break open double rifle action. Some time ago, I had posted a detailed e-mail from Graham Greener describing the action as well as of the lawsuit that Westley Richards filed against the Greener company alleging a violation of their Anson and Deeley patent which they lost not only in the courts but also on appeal to the House of Lords. I believe the subject is discussed in detail in Mr Greener's new book, "The Greener Story."

For some reason I cannot get the Search function to find that particular e-mail here but I hope somoene would help in this regard.

IMHO especially because I cannot afford to buy a new Greener double rifle, I think they are doing the right thing by building their proprietary actions, actions that were unique to the Greener company and which made the company it's reputation. It takes courage for a small operation to do something unique and I think Greener need to be commended for their efforts and for not following convention and doing what other companies are already doing. This of course being a subjective opinion and one belonging to a fan of the company based on the guns I have seen and shot in India.

Good hunting!
