Here are the before pics, it just came in. It needs a new barrel as the original has been tubed to .22lr. I will pull the original barrel and send it off to be copied then thread and chamber it. The action will be fully polish out and re-cut and re-color hardened, the wood refinished and my client will be a happy guy. Once a caliber conversion has been done it is rare to find such a complete British falling block to restore. This is a rare action size as well, I have seen plenty of both large actions and the small round block actions but this is the first mid-sized Webley 1902 I have seen. Should be a really fun project.
