Picked up another .404 a few days ago
#229157 - 22/04/13 02:50 AM

Bought this at auction last week from Gavin's London. Can't tell too much about it but it was cheap so I'll get another .404 hunting rifle anyway.

Very good for you. Excellent price as well, barrel is worth more than that to make a lamp out of, let alone enough "extra" parts to make a rifle.

I had wanted to take a shot at the 2 Westley Richards .318 barrels they had....only brought 50gbp

I thought about those also but I have a .318 takedown WR Mauser already. I really like the Lewis .404 I bought last year, so I thought I'd make a stab at building one up.

Well, you have some good pieces coming to get started with. Yes, your Lewis is a very cool rifle as well.

Inspiration for your restoration;
