Chris,
Congratulations on a great rifle. I really like the screw grip action and have two DRs using it (a 360 and a 500, both BPE.)
Do you know when it was made (before the date on the stock)?
Would you see if the forearm lug has a number stamped on it? Both my DRs do, as does a screw grip DR converted to a shotgun (2x Army Navy CSL and 1x Watson Bros).
Regards,
Chris
Thanks Chris.
I'm a fan of the screw grip action as well, and now have a couple in my collection as well. My B&S gun was delivered on the 6th August 1903, and was made for Rigby by Webley & Scott.
I will have to check the forearm for the stamping and get back to you. It may be some time as I am away with a work project at present.
Chris
