About William Douglas double Rifles.
William Douglas sold a bunch of actions to Cape Outfitters in the 1990's. Some of them were made by private individuals or unknowing gunsmiths into double rifles, they were shotgun actions,period. William Douglas never made a double rifle.Only shotguns. They will not continually take the pounding of the 470, or any other high pressure rifle round. They have no 3rd lock. And the Mono block is too thin for the cartridge. You may fire 10 shots, but number 11 is going to be your last.Period.Maybe you will live, probibly not. If you sell this peice of crap, get ready to be sued. They were made in Holland, barrels made in Italy, and assembled in the U.S.A. with no proofs. If there are proofs, someone else stamped them in the U.S.
Call Rigby and they will tell you the same thing, or call Ken Owen, in Tennessee.

Now I have a bit more time, I'll add to my post above.

Firstly, RLI is spot on.


Except my gun has had far more than 250 rounds through it
and is still going strong. I know it's not a Holland, Purdey, Webley but it shoots as well as any of my other 20+ DR's (in fact better) and it is easy to carry, good to shoot and works 100% every time.


The guns were made for Cape Outfitters to provide a low cost 470 DR for an expanding US Market - in my view a sound commercial decision. If they are that crap, then Cape Outfitters would have been sued a long time ago as the US is the most litigious society, far more than any other.


If I sell you my gun, you'd have eff all chance of suing me
so stick that up your ass and suck it - or better still, pull the [Email]f@#king[/Email] trigger with a round in the chamber - listening to your post, your brains will probably go first as they are in your arse.


If you are going to get people to call other so called "experts", then at least use someone with credibility.

Rigby USA is NOT credible - anybody stupid enough to buy a name and put it on a Merkel action and expect people to pay over the odds for it.........or at least more than a few.

And by the way the finish of the guns by USA Rigby leaves a bit to be desired.

Go back to the rock you crawled out from under and stay there.


Apologise to other posters for the rant !
