Westley Richards .318 "Light Model" with Detachable Stock for Portability.
I seem to be losing out in purchasing these scarce Westley Richards rifles recently, the .425 in Las Vegas and now the only rifle of interest at the British Shooting Show, this .318 Light Model take down. This was acquired by a member of my own internal team, namely Trigger 'for myself, so I can hunt with a Westley Richards'! I will not be sending him on any buying trips for the company in future! I have only come across a couple of these rifles whilst here at WR, whilst not as nice in my opinion as the true bayonet type take down, it is an interesting rifle and I think the forend catch shows clearly that it is a take apart rifle which the Holland system may not to the uninitiated. The rifle comes apart with the release of the catch and the unscrewing of the front mag box screw which can be done with a small coin. This particular rifle is fitted with an original set trigger, standing and 4 folding leaf sights and the Westley Richards patent front sight assembly.

I have had a few applications for the expenses paid job for buying guns for yourself!
