Description:
Westley Richards & Co. .450/.400 3” NE Anson & Deeley hammerless action with two triggers, disk-set strikers, automatic safety with the word “SAFE” in gold, and a spindle top lever that works a third bolt to mate with the the third-bite, Model “C” type, rib extension on the barrels shaped like the “club” in a deck of cards.
This model was medium priced double rifle for the sportsman looking for something made under the W.R.&Co. banner and all the confidence that goes with that. These grade rifles were made throughout W.R.&Co.’s history and used around the world.
The rifle retains all of its original parts...lock, stock, and barrels...and underwent a sympathetic refurbishment some time ago; more than likely by Westley Richards & Co. The action body was recolored but has since patinaed nicely with colors worn on the sharp edges or where it rested in a hand. Barrels were probably re-blacked somewhere along the way but the barrel finish has faded consistent with the case colors. The stock is also original as refinished, but equally consistent with the rest of the condition of the rifle.
Originally made as an ejector rifle, the ejectors were removed and the rifle works as an extractor rifle only.
The rifle is tight on face and the stock is crack and repair free. The bores are good to very good. They’re a bit on the hazy side, but the rifle shoots more than adequately at 50 yards.
