Do you think Westley made it?
I've always wondered. My guess would be no, but I've never bothered to check the records on one. Don't know if Westley is forthcoming about whether or not a gun was bought in. Some British makers aren't.
WR didn't mine the iron, smelt the steel, forge the action blank or the barrel blanks,---. At the point of machining the action and drilling the barrel blanks, we get less sure. WR has a reputation for machining and parts supply. However, at any given time, they may have or may not have. They were right smack dab in the middle of the trade and could have done any or all of the work or bought-in any or all of the work. The real point is that they would have done the quality control before putting their name on it. So, it was up to WR standards for the original quality grade when new.
