The forearm looks longer than the usual Rigby configuration to me. Maybe special ordered that way?
Good eye! Yes the forearm is about 1 longer than my Cogswell & Harrison .242 and my Mauser Type A 9.3
Steve Bertram, who has seen and handled a lot of British sporting rifles, noticed that forearm right away.
There was no note in the Rigby records as to a special order length, it was sold by Rigby to W. Atkinson & Son a retailer in Lancaster, Lancashire.
Detail pictures and a range report in due course.
