Custom gun making process from Mehul's favourite gun maker
It ain’t over ’til it’s over! "Rocky,Rocky,Rocky....."
Re: Custom gun making process from Mehul's favourite gun mak
Vikram,
My problem is not with Westley Richards but with the cretin who owns the company. They did make nice guns in the past though today's best boxlock shotguns are made not by them but by T R White gunmakers.
When I wrote my article for India Today Plus, Walter Clode of Westley Richards sent me a fax telling me that he would not send a catalogue or information for my article because he did not see any reason to do this thanks to India's gun laws. I did extract sweet revenge a couple of years ago by directing someone who would have bought a shotgun from them to Fanzoj, a company that was most helpful as far as my article was concerned. That is what I intend to continue doing whenever I find someone deluded into wanting to buy anything from this company.
BTW, do try and find pictures of Westley Richards making bolt action rifles these days. You will be in for a very interesting surprise.

And, before I forget, please ask Westley Richards who supply them with the barreled actions for their bolt action rifles. It would also be nice if we have prices along with the pictures. I shall post after you have these two pieces of information.
