Westley Richards Droplock Fauneta 20 Bores
      #58052 - 31/05/06 09:51 AM

Whoa Nelly! Westley Richards *TRUE PAIR* of Droplock Fauneta 20 Bores.

This is an incredible set of guns guys, they also shoot a 425 grain bullet accurately! Best droplock paradox guns built for the Maharaja of Patiala, with an extra set of 20 gauge barrels by W.R. in 1976.

Research shows it to be a favorite type of Westley Richards gun of H.R.H King George VI of England as well as the Shaw of Persia, and of course myself.

Link info: (Look under shotguns)

Neet stuff, enjoy.

Droplock

Do you have any loading information on the Faunetta? What do you use for bullets?

Droplock

Where do you get the LT bullets? Can you buy any loaded ammo?

DRPLK 101,
Are we talking about LT type capped bullets here? Your unique load seems a little ambitious in a 20, have you had it pressure tested?

That is the load I use, the pressure is approx. 10,000 psi and shoots spectacular in both barrels.

I would be interested in some contact information. I have been trying for years to find a decent load for my Faunetta and can't find any decent bullets.

Ross makes his own LT caps and it takes him around 3 hours/bullet. They are hard to come by.

I have shot some cast bullets but they do not shoot or perform as well as the LT Bullets.

Any info would be welcome.

In my humble opinion, I think you are off base with 21.5 grains of Unique. That is the Holland Paradox 12 bore load which shoots a 735 grain bullet 1050 fps. The Explora shoots 1250 and the Super magnum 1500.

Looked these over a few months ago, at G&H Greenwich CT store. Really superlative, but price of 110g is way up.
