My friend has a Rigby retailed Webley 1902 chambered in .577 3", 100grs of Cordite and 750 grain bullet. Oh, original scope with it too!

Thanks for the pictures of the Westley, Steve. I like the rib on it, looks very interesting. Someone way back when seems to have known how to do a little fitting and finishing.

The large frame 1902s could probably handle anything. The small frame round blocks may be best with something like what you normally see them in, oddly 32-40. They are nothing like my large 1902 and having fondled one I dearly wish it was mine.

30-40 on a round block should be fine.

Going to disagree with the experts. Would not fail catastrophically but believe it would shoot loose over time. Just my opinion based on the design. Probably great for a 32-40. Chuck
