OP Glenn Fewless Sidelock Joined: May 2006 Posts: 629 Likes: 1 Wisconsin	JBG: Thanks for the link. That rifle is pictures in Winfer's latest book, the Webley and Scott volume. The pictures will help to recreate the rifle. I don't know what the action will be when it grows up. There is not a lot of information out there on the action, and very few pictures of intact originals. If I end up building it for myself it will be an attempt at restoring it to original configuration with a contemporary chambering. So many vices, so little time... Glenn There is no sacrifice too great for someone else to make.
