F Beesley used Whitworth barrels for his best guns up until 1924. There is a note in his ledger marking the fact. Final Whitworth tube numbers noted are 55264 & 55265.

Edit to add that, although these tubes were bought by Beesley in 1924, the guns they were fitted to were not sold to customers until 1928.

Thereafter Beesley used Vickers tubes.
