They are both referred to as "screw grip" actions and are both very desireable. On early guns (pre 1905) I have seen shoe lump barrels like yours. After that, they were made with chopper lump barrels. I have only seen intercepting sears on early A&W C's.
Enjoy the rifle, the quality will never be repeated.
Thank you!!

Dose the foreend sight protector come off easy for use?
Hi Oz,
I'm sorry but I missed your question. It did not have a sight protector when the gentleman I bought it from got it. That picture is from way back when Wesley Richards had the rifle.
Joyce enjoyed your banter about the pride holding Male in D. Nelson's thread.
Cheers

Man, that looks like my scoped rifles at 50 yards - wow!!

What a load of codswallop. It should be welded at the breach and declared as an antique.

And if I didn't bring it you would be whining the entire 21 days because you didn't get to fondle it.

safari-lawyerClearly this rifle is junk.
Since the lakes in AK are still frozen solid, send the rifle to me and I will throw it into the Tennessee river so you are no longer burdened with this problem.
As always, glad to help.

Not with the double unless the things go poorly. The Lion, given the opportunity, will be ventilated with the .375 H&H. Afterall, that rifle is only 80 years old as opposed to the 110 year old double.
Is that your venerable Hoffman 375 H&H? Very cool.

dirklawyerFrostbite that is a great group for a DR your still working up loads take that classic rifle with you for sure!

I sprayed it with that clear coat rustolium so it doesn't rub off anymore. Have you thought about gloves?

Looks like the same Webley A&W C action. I had PM's you about that rifle when I saw it. Have you made a move on it?
