35 W.C.F

Description

Description Shipping Reviews Help A superb example of British gunmaking excellence: a Westley Richards falling block rifle, built in 1911 and chambered in the classic .35 Winchester Center Fire (.35 WCF). This rifle is used but in excellent condition, retaining the quality, balance, and mechanical precision that made Westley Richards one of the most respected names in sporting arms. The falling block action is smooth, strong, and beautifully executed—typical of Westley Richards craftsmanship from the Edwardian era. Metal surfaces show little wear, with clear markings and well-preserved lines. The bore is in very good condition, and the rifle remains mechanically sound and fully functional. The stock displays attractive, well-figured wood with a pleasing patina, showing light handling marks but no abuse. Overall, this rifle presents as a carefully maintained sporting arm rather than a neglected relic—an increasingly rare find more than a century after its manufacture. Chambered in .35 WCF, a historically significant cartridge prized by collectors and enthusiasts of early smokeless sporting rifles, this piece is equally at home in a serious collection or as a standout example of pre-war British rifle design.   Condition: Excellent Barrel: 9.5/10 Sights: Open Express Flip-up Sights  Year of Manufacture: 1911 Serial Number: 38606 Generate Postage Quote Product Weight: 10000.0 kg Loading...
