Finally this week we completed the 4 bore 'Model de Luxe' that completes the set of seven already delivered to celebrate our bicentenary back in 2012. We suppose in gunmaking terms 5 years after the event for such a one off beast cannot be too bad! In truth it was ordered after the original set were delivered, as up until then we had not designed let alone built a 4 bore double shotgun in hand detachable lock format.
The final result with full case colour hardening by the St.Ledger brothers is a seriously nice job and we have to give credit to all those involved in the building of this magnificent gun. The 4 bore really is in a league of its own and for those of you who have never handled one they truly are a gargantuan gun!
The 'Swan' carved game scenes really do complement this gun very well, especially when combined with the carved fences, traditional scroll and gold borders. All of us here at Westley Richards would like to thank the very patient owner whose commission made this gun and the earlier set of seven guns a reality. They are a unique and very special set of guns in the history of Westley Richards.
The 4 bore next to a dimunutive 28 bore!

That is a magnificent piece of artillery Trigger, the case hardening and gold work is the best I have seen for sure. What does it weigh please?

This will really get your attention when you shoot it, a wonderful example of the very best, and finely complimented by Rob St Ledgers colour case hardening,the best in the true sense of the word.
