Hi again,

and happy new year to all!

Thanks for the info on sulphur and bar length, Marrakai. I have to give it a try and buy some of that stuff from the local pharmacy.

I just re-read all the information that you guys have provided so far, and I don't know how to thank you... This all is simply great.

A couple of further questions:

There is a small screw in between the underlugs in the monoblock. I have considered it to be the extractor lock screw - i.e. in the underside of the extractors' lower guide pin there is a cutting/slot, in which the tip of this screw protrudes and stops the extractor backward movement. By releasing this screw, the extractor could then be removed. Am I on the right track in this reasoning? I not sure of all terms there, but I hope you are able to follow my thought.

What might be the purpose of the blind hole behind the front sight blade? I have tried to figure out some kind of night sight construction that would require this kind of hole, but I'm not so sure about that. On page 96 A. Gray shows a fine H&H front sight assembly. There's also a similar looking hole. No explanation is given to it, though.

I'll be back soon with more questions - I hope I'm not exhausting you with these... Oh yes, another one popped into my mind: Does a name "C.B. Westmacott" ring any bell? This Rodda gun was sold cased, but I presume the case is not original. However, there is the above mentioned name on top of the case lid, and also something else in writing that is worn out and hard to read. I'll take a photo on the case soon and post it also.

Regards,
Saku
