I've got an LC Smith Field Grade 12 gauge with Westly Richards sleaved barrels . Got it for next to nothing . The gun was busted in the wrist long before we got it . The guy that owned it had put the wrist back together as best he could then kinda braced it with pieces of popsicle sticks then wrapped copper wire around it tightly and covered that with a clear epoxy . As much as the gun looks like a POS it shoots very well atleast on skeet targets .

In the sixties, and probably in the fifties, Westley Richards advertised various gunsmithing jobs in the gun press. It was quite inexpensive and shipping was taken care of by the company. It was very simple and explains why we see more than a few guns sleeved by WR.

I noticed even these days WR seems to love doing eccentric builds or projects the other British firms wouldnt be bothered with.
