Jcorry,

Coming along absolutely beautifully! This is going to be a real beauty, of course! Please do post more pics when you receive them from Paul Roberts.

Very good hunting and thanks for sharing these pictures here.

Thank you, Jorge.
I will of course post the final regulation target.

The rifle now needs to be case colour hardened, and the barrels to be blued.

Color Case is my favorite finish for a double and I'm sure it will be even better! Will you be using Kynoch ammo or Horndady to regulate?

The only thing I would change and it is small
is I would not have a "." in front of the 500
on the grip cap lid.

Superb. Really nice indeed.

The only thing I would change and it is small
is I would not have a "." in front of the 500
on the grip cap lid.

Firstly, I would make sure that all the numbers were the same size, straight and level. Same applies to the letters in the makers name engraved and gold inlaid on the action and down the barrel.

I know its supposed to look hand made, but if it was mine I would want it done right.

I hear what you're saying. What I would say that the great thing about these sort of guns is that they're all to personal taste.
For me, I have no interest in seeing engraving which is too regimented, as I feel it then becomes a bit sterile/clinical.

I'm pretty happy with what I see.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if your'e pretty happy thats all that really counts. However, I would prefer to be ecstatic.

I don´t think Ken Hunt did the gold inlay work. The rifle is superb in the white, deep scroll engraving is not to my taste but that is like art, what one person likes another doesn´t so it is personal but the gold inlay, in my opinion is not up to scratch and I am not trying to piss on anyones party, just my opinion and it is a lovely rifle jcorry, minor details are just that, minor, best, Mike

Thanks for the kind words.

I had a few taken with her put together, just before the barrels and furniture are blued - although the screws are not straight!

Lovely rifle.

Question, did you ask for that type of fore end lever
or is that standard for W J Jeffrey rifles now ?

Just to say that I will be selling my 500 in the next Bonhams sale, in May.
The rifle has fired maybe 30 rounds.

jcorry,

That's a beautiful rifle and the workmanship is superb as well. I expect that you won't have any problems selling it for a good price.

Cheers,

Jim
