Folks:

Over on Guns International there is an old Westley Richards .318 WR Express. It's a neat looking old rifle in a neat old caliber. But I noticed something as I was looking at the pictures. Check these out. I don't know if these are the proof marks or not, but they seem to be stamped upside down. I can't imagine the barrel ever having been removed as all the furniture is right. I just thought this was odd. Do you think maybe the guys in the shop were having gin instead of tea in their cups one day?

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
