Westley
Richards - (en)
Westley Richards is one of the oldest surviving traditional English
gunmakers. They were founded in 1812 and over the years invented some
of the most widely used inversions, like the Anson and Deeley boxlock
action and the Droplock which equals in status James Purdey's self
opening and Holland & Holland's removable locks.
They are still working today in Birmingham and their double rifles are
very popular in the United States among safari hunters who cannot
afford a James Purdey or a Holland & Holland Royal or those who
simply prefer the distinctive lines of a Westley Richards.
