Re: New Farquharson action

Bailey Bradsaw,
What a treat to see your H&H Woodward action,have you concidered chambering it for .373 X 2 1/2" Nitro,this case has the same head Dia as the .303" so will fit a small action nicely,but is just a little bit different(with lower chamber pressures)One down side of the close fitting underlever/triggergaurd,is that under field use,any small leaf litter/twig ,that is caught between the two will prevent the action closeing fully,it does give the rifle a look of classic good fitting though.Even by the use of CNC and EDF cutting I doubt that you will be able to get the price down to that which people will pay,I have always cut them out by hand(Farquharsons not Woodwards)and there is no way I could sell them and make even a tiny profit,I look forward to seeing the progress photos on your superb project.
Cpt Curl,Many thanks for the photo of your G,Gibbs,I have one almost identical ,exept that mine has Selous grips,is yours in .303"? Mine I am sure has been re barreled at some time as the sight engraving states "37 Grn Cannonite & 200 Grn Bullet" what that was I have been unable to determine,I would like to post a photo on this forum but,although I have no trouble in E Mailing photos I have been unable to get them onto here!
