How did you do? I bid on 2 in the main sale and picked up a nice little Westley Richards .50 cal percussion rifle that should be a great project.

I did not get a rate of twist on the Westley, condition report claims the bore is good. I suspect it is a round ball gun.

Also on the way....both need a small amount of attention but are generally in fine order.

I am curious as to how to get these firearms imported? Can they be mailed to an FFL folder or must I go through an import company?

I offer an import service but percussion guns can be shipped to your nearest port of entry. Clearing the items can require a Customs Broker. I will PM you.

Almost bid on 2 but chickened out this time. Also passed on Bonhams. Nothing really grabbed me and the pound shot back up with Truss out.How about the 12 bore Boss O/U of recent manufacture that hammered at £130,000? The older pair went for£54,000, but I couldn’t assess them well as there were no barrel thicknesses given.

With Bonham's I find it is best to call on the phone for condition reports. Wall thickness and other details are not posted but are available if you ask.
