Westley Richards .476
24/05/05 03:31 PM

I have just recently acquired a falling block Westley Richards rifle in W.R..476. The rifle is interesting in that it has a 28" barrel but with Metford rifling. The barrel is engraved 'metford rifling'.I am surprised as it appears that the rifle was built 1906/07.I would appreciate any comments regarding the action (pros and cons), the calibre (how to reload, etc.) and any ideas as to why such a late manufactured rifle should have Metford rifling. By the way, it is a hunting rifle and not a target rifle.Thanks, Charls.
