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 .

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
