James Woodward 303 Automatic
      27/07/12 06:12 AM

Here are some pics of my James Woodward 303 similar to CptCurl's, made in Aug of 1897 nitro proofs
of 38 grs rifleite w/ 215 gr bullet.
Purdey records state the gun was made for Dr. W. Seward Webb:his info:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Seward_Webb




This has a bolted top safety as seen here:


Fine English scroll engraved side locks:







Makers Name:


File cut top rib w/Maker's name and address, and "The Automatic"


Snap action lever:



I took the side locks off, flooded with oil to dissolve the "dust" as in this pic. I wiped and brushed the side locks to get most of the oil off. I especially lubed the tumbler projections where
the snap lever cocks the tumblers.
