Doug, thank you for taking the time to describe the functional details of this Westley Richards action. I look forward to checking it out more in the Wlnfer book, and following any details you may share while working on the project.

Aesthetics and function aside, I am also curious how you determine a safe operating pressure for an 1870's vintage action like this, and what cartridges would have originally been used with it.
