A few pics of the Holy Trinity of medium bores

Some one ask for a few pics...so at lunch this is what I came up with...

The top is a Holland and Holland Made on a Enfield action..Holland has two Pages on it it was made in 1955. This rifle came from ZIM.

Middle is the Westley Richards .425

Bottom is a Jeffery .404..I am sad to say it has been Restocked.. Marked very well... alas it has been re-blued also.

This came from ZIM

Urdubob,
Did you import from Zim? What is the process for importing a fire arm from Africa? Thanks, Bob

Nice set of rifles. I don't know why, but I've always had an affinity for those Westley single stack magazines.

No the rifles came fom an imigrant from Rhodeasia via RSA via California. Note the Animal hide repairs on the Tower musket..These were confiscated by the Game Dept. One has an old evidence number on it. Black Powder and match heads were used to fire it.

These are some other neat things I got from Him.

I have about 10 rifles and cape guns I will post now that I finally read Terry instructions.

urdubob,

What markings does the .404 Jeff rifle have? Those three rifles are all "interesting", but the .404 is calling to me.
