Mr. Flynn, many thanks for your comments, but one of them leaves me wondering . . . . .
What is a "fit sheet"?
Thank you, SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stanton,
I believe he is referring to the shooter's stock measurements.

Thank you, SRH Stan, If you go to a gun fitter the sheet has the measurements you need for the gun to fit you. Not something to leave to memory. Oh, and don’t call him “Mr. Flynn”. Call him James. Don’t ask me how I know. Best, Ted

Karl is correct. In the 1990's I would see Rex Gage in New Orleans twice a year at a nearby sporting clays range. He would give lessons and fittings with his try gun, then present me with the client's "fit sheet" for modifications.
Rex was an outstanding British gentleman, not in the class sense but in but by his good manners. The range owner, Rex, and I had many marvelous conversations. I learned a lot from him and admired him very much. He was a character and would rather eat Popeye's fried chicken rather than anything else.
Back to the Westley Richards; that was probably the worst restoration I ever did.

James
By “worst”, I assume you mean the most difficult, because, not having seen other restorations of yours, making it difficult to know otherwise, this should rank right up there as one of, if not the, best restoration you’ve ever done, based on the photos. Just superb.

John,
Thanks for your kind words. In all immodesty I will say all my restorations turn out like that because that's my minimum quality. Please don't take this statement as arrogant, it's just business.
If I may impose on Ted, I can send pictures of an old Sauer hammer gun I restored some years ago. That is, if the readers are interested. It's one of the few jobs I actually remembered to take before and after pictures.
Thanks,
James

curious enough to ask - accustomed to seeing droplock guns with typical wr top lever/sliding "c" bolt....this gun does not conform to that. what variation is this action?
never the less this is a beautiful gun, and a testament to james' skill.
best regards,
tom
