Early Westley Richards

Post by ROMAC »

I just couldn’t leave Hauseman’s without it. Straight grip, no cast, 15 inch LOP. Like it was made for me. 12 gauge.

7 lbs, 14 ounces. .011 and .019 chokes. 2.5 inch chambers proofed for 1 1/8 ounces.

Beautiful Damascus barrels that ring like church bells.

Thanks Jeff.

Typical Hauseman’s for me. Sold three, came home with two additional ones. I’m making progress on trying to whittle down the accumulation I’m down about 30 and up only about 6 in the last 12 months or so.

Classic one Roger. Short chambers?
