I do have to say I have joined the Africa hunting forum and see a couple of people from here on there so they will deffo know what i am talking about.
some of the older (including double rifles) firearms on there are just exquisite. I have almost found a hankering for a 318 Westly Richards.
Just because. No one really needs another one (especially me with all my little unfinished projects) but by crikey it is sometimes nice to have something different.

Greetings @csmiffy,
The .318 Westley Richards is a fascinating rifle with a distinguished history, just obscure enough but with components easily made or purhased. I believe that Eddie Herrick used one to shoot the first two moose shot in New Zealand. The odd groove size makes having one built very very difficult. We can still dream though.
Regards Grandpamac.
