Re: Refinish

Casper, you might possibly remember the Oberndorf actioned Westley Richards I bought from you some years ago. It was in pretty rough condition, with a shortened barrel, disproportionately high front sight, modified rear sight and numerous scratches and dings in the stock. The fore end tip was hanging on by a thread. The original bore, caliber 8X57IS, was pretty rough as well.

I had it rebored and rechambered to 9X57 and sent it to Lon Paul for reworking. Here are some "before" and "after" photos, prior to bluing. Lon is still recovering from the fire which destroyed his workshop and it has slowed his delivery time considerably.







The finished rifle will be equipped with a Lyman 35 rear sight.
