Westley Richards .416 - 11/18/20 01:11 AM
Time for this gun to head home. The original stock split, so I restocked it to factory original specifications. The rifle is a Westley Richards .416 Rigby which was made in 2008.

Beautiful work Aaron.
Any clue as why the original stock split? I would think a WR stock should last longer than that.

Do you have pictures of the original stock? It would be interesting to see the break. Any possibility of fixing the stock and using it on another rifle?

Wow that's beautiful.
You're doing great things Aaron.
Years ago I was discussing the particulars of the handling of a rifle that I'd just bought and it's preparation for shipping.
I'd asked the fellow to dismantle it from the wood before he boxed it up for the trip across the continent.
He responded
'Oh yes. It will surely arrive to your hands in pieces, whether or not I disassemble it before it goes out to you'
