My beautiful WR was made in 1890, so no droplocks. I can confidently say that it is of such a high quality that it was put together to the same high standards as it's younger brothers the droplocks were.

I don't get the doll's head being unsightly, nor do I get it presenting a problem when loading.

Please understand I'm not trying to pick a fight - it's only the email words that convey that attitude.

I just really love my Westley Richards 12 bore.
