The A&W C (Anson & Webley. Cordite) was the higher grade of the two Webley DR actions. The PHV.1 (Plain High Velocity) was the lower grade. The A&W has what is sometimes referred to as the clipped spade rib extension, the PHV1 has what is sometimes referred to as a clubs heads extension. Both can be seen in the 1914 catalog.

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.

Lovely rifle! would love to see your groups at that distance off hand. You might be surprised at how similar a group it is.
Dose the foreend sight protector come off easy for use?

We are beginning to bond. 25 yards off sticks. My offhand group is a bit wider. If I can get my eyes to do this at 50 yards I can live with it.

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.
