Thank you Michael for posting my pictures. I've been thinking along the lines of most here that the value is in the action only and that's why I bought it. Glenn, it has had most of the word Westley removed in the name Westley Richards. It appears to have been done with a surface grinder as the sides of the receiver are still flat and no buffed screw holes. Your right about the action not being used in Creedmoor shooting. Those rifles were built on the Gibbs Farquharson. The Westley Richards started out based on the Deeley Edge Patent and had a side lever until they fell from favor and it was redesigned with an underlever. Most of the WR Farquharson actions were actually built for them by Francotte in Belgium. I'll bring it along to Lodi in 3 weeks. MK, I've been looking at the kicking extractor. and from schematics it would be easy to remove the extractor spring. Bob
