My machinist gave this to me today. Maybe it shot a few Redcoats.

Someone gave me a Westley Richards African rifle. May be my next build project?

Sorry for duplication. Something haywire with internet today.
Shot a few Redcoats?!?

These were Boer issue during the war with Brits. This one is date stamped 1897. Okay, they had mostly dropped their wool red coats by then but the moniker stuck.
"Made specially for ZAR" means this rifle was issued to commando of the Transval province or Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek at the time of the Boer War.

A very enjoyable build if you can get all the internals together. I had one that needed a restock so that was a very rewarding project
You will need a carry case for it though.
and a good load .

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.
Let me know if you are interested
