2 Band Whitworth Rifle

[ResearchPress]

Can you suggest to those of us in the states, why Blackley is so unreliable filling orders? ..... ...

Sorry, no idea about Blackley's order processing. That's something you'd have to take up with them; I have no affiliation with them, but was aware that they advertise Whitworth parts.

Thanks for the P-H info. I met Bucky a couple of times at international shoots. He was Sec. Gen. of the MLAIC for a while.

Is Pedersoli the only current barrel maker for Whitworth rifling? I read there was a private gunsmith in England (I'm not referring to Parker Hale) who made Whitworth barrels, but that was close to two decades ago.

Eventually I would like to build a southern sharpshooter's 2 band .451 Whitworth, something that is not currently made by any of the Italian

Would you plan on fitting a scope to the rifle? That would be interesting and something I’ve thought on before

Not at this time. I just want to make a simple 2nd quality type without the scope. (I don't have a range near me that is suitable for long distance target shooting)

Did the 2nd quality rifles come with blued or color case hardened barrel bands?
