Alec Steele (blacksmith Youtuber) toured Westley Richards & Co and got a behind the scenes look at how their bespoke, hand crafted shotguns and rifles are made.https://youtu.be/saEDMMmMp2o I usually follow this channel for his blacksmithing videos, but he has also been doing tours of various factories around the UK showing the craftsmanship and skill of the UK's various industries. https://www.westleyrichards.com/guns-and-rifles

The finish on that bolt-action rifle is amazing. I wonder how many bajillion zorkmids it costs. I remember reading somewhere that a Holland & Holland double rifle runs to $250,000 depending on how elaborately decorated it is.--G. -><- Benjamin D.

>I wonder how many bajillion zorkmids it costs. I believe it’s pretty firmly in the “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” category. I cannot deny, however, that it is a sexy beast. -------------- Lime2K The One True Evil Overlord,

In 1910, it would have cost £30 apparently, for the base model at least.
