It’s good to know that Birmingham will not be bothered by rampaging elephants in the future…

Thank you for this pic! It does give a better scale on this gun. A nice piece of your team’s gun making skills.

The fact that Trigger’s hand only reaches approximately half way around the gun at the forearm really gives a sense of the scale of this gun. Then I remembered that this is a droplock with single trigger! Really a great example of the relationship and intersection of the technology that W-R is using to scale guns and manufacture part sets with the traditional methods of hand fitting, filing, stocking, engraving and finishing. A remarkable testimony to all involved. I know the owner will be very happy!

This photo still leaves a question to be answered… Which weighs more? :D

Now that is what I call a gun! No danger of checking your swing with that thing, just a hernia trying to stop!
It really is magnificent, and good to see in hand as you can’t really appreciate the size any other way. Makes me wonder about the 4 bore (DB?) rifle used by F C Selous,I wonder what the recoil on that was?
