I forgot to add to the Beesley Pat, Type Action,with the Churchill Type Triggers" It has Beautifully Filed-Up Rounded and fitted to the Bbl breech, CLIPS'....Neary a spot of blood spilt in the making of the Action, or when I was Stocking the Working-Parts,or in the Test Fireing at Addiville Farms with Geoff Gaebe, and The Late Jack Mitchell.CC/dt

H-Jo. Its actualy an Extremely Sad Story, not long after I imported the Barreled Action,(No triggers, no Trigger-Plate. No Forend 'Snap",1974. Terry Barrow'Actioner, Ejectorman, Craftsman of the Highest Order'Former Apprentice to Ben Delay Jr. Actioner. I recieved the Devastating News, Terry had been Killed in his Workshop..a Freak Accident. Details are not Necessary.I belive this was his last completed Gun.I couldnt bring myself to Build it to completion. I built a Wooden Box, Wrapped the parts in wax Paperput it inthe back of the Safe.McIntosh convinced me over the years to start up again...Long Story..Ive aprox,250 photos the project(All 35mm) Iv'e been Digitalizeing?most of them. Its taken on a Small Book Status at this point( It even had a 'Spin-Job'by Researcher at Sandanona. Richard Purdey was Quite Fascinated by that procedure...and so to bed...cc/dt
