two questions really: 1.)does anyone this side of the pond manufacture a westley richards type folding front sight?2.) Does anyone have any experience with the waffenfabrik hein firm-am considering buying one of their actions in 505 gibbs

Bryan,

Not able to help you with your frist question but I can add my information about Waffenfabrik Hein.

I have held their actions, even the very large 585 Nyati action and several finished riles including a couple of syn. stocked guns, a beautifully done 404 Jeffery (wood stocked), and a switch barrel falling block 375 Flanged/500 Nitro. I was very much impressed with the actions and the rifles so much so, I am having them build a couple of rifles on their new Mauser (still in prototype stage) in 375 H&H and 404 Jeffery. Those will be classic styled DGRs.

By all accounts and references I checked out Waffenfabrik Hein produces a top notch product. After handling the actions and rifles I am more convinced of that...

Never been much of a single shot person but after handling that falling block I am rethinking.....that single shot would fit in any collection and was a dream to handle.

I just brought two more Turkish blanks from

My hope is that Greg, Dave, and Karl get my first two Mausers in process soon and I can think about what to do with my new Turkish blanks

I have to add that all my communications with the Waffenfabrik Hein guys has been informative, productive, and they have gone out of their way to help me...

Thank you

Bryan you have a private message from me regarding Wff Hein!

Recknagel make a nice flip up Ivory style sight similar to the Westley one.
