i think we are talking about two different things here.

First is a 'Kit' gun sold by Cape Outfitters. The second is a complete DR assembled and proofed in England. For want of a better metaphor a Ford pickup and a homemade wagon.

I have looked at a few WD DRs and have never found anything to complain about. I have two friends who own and shoot them regularly and they are happy as Pigs in Sh#t with them. They are on the light side but that is a positive to me.

Cape Outfitters was 'buyer beware' company. They re stamped proof marks on rifles and converted many BP rifles in Europe with forged proof marks to be sold in the US as NE rifles. That is no secret amongst those that have seen these rifles.

I would suspect that what they sold was substandard and add in an amateur DR gunsmith you are asking for trouble.

Don't blame Ford if you build a truck out of parts from the wrecking yard and it doesn't run right.
