This .303 Westley Richards falling block rifle, built in 1910, is a take-down model with an interrupted thread. The action is notably strong and exceptionally smooth, complemented by full-coverage engraving and a full-length rib. The engraver masterfully incorporated a variety of styles, giving the rifle a depth and character that is difficult to fully capture in photographs. Complete with its original case, it stands as a scarce and refined example of a classic British sporting arm.

Beautiful rifle for sure . Hopefully there will be more special Single Shots from your collection pictured here soon. The 303 is my favorite small bore caliber .
I have a few. I’ll try to get some better pics taken
 
If PaulB ever bought an ugly gun, I suspect it would short-circuit his brain.
Brilliant rifle, as always.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
