Westley Richards .318 Accelerated Express Bolt Action Magazine Rifle completed in the early 1920's. 

Based on a standard length Mauser action drilled and tapped on top for conventional "Redfield Style" scope mounts and a bolt handle and "wing" safety to accommodate a telescopic sight. One piece bottom metal has a hinged floorplate and Westley's distinctive lever release and the original Mauser trigger. 

The original W.R.&Co. "Special Steel" barrel is 24" with an island rear sight base with two folding leaves lined in platinum and a combination foresight with Westley's patented rear folding sight protector. 

The original walnut stock has a horn forend tip and a trap grip cap that is engraved, traditional sling eye on the toe line and the forward one mounted to the bottom of the barrel, with a  13 1/4" LOP over a Silver's type pad. The original stock oval remains blank. 

Rifle was drilled and tapped at one time for a G&H or Jaeger type side mount, those holes now filled with screws. Stock was refinished but action, barrel, and furniture retain much of their original black and the bore remains excellent. 

Rifle still has a lot of life left in it and is set up to accommodate a good selection of modern scopes.
