	I think [the above rifle] is a Westley Richards "droplock". Which is a variation of the Anson & Deeley boxlock - One in that the internal locks can be removed and replaced with ease. Which is a very nice feature indeed if one of the locks should break when you are out in the wilderness of Namibia and a two or three day drive (or sixteen hour plane ride) from the nearest skilled gunsmith. There are several of them at Westley Richards shop up in Bozeman, Montana. It's a neat feature, but like everything having to do with the English Doubles (rifle and shotgun) it's a pricey feature. --[[User:Jcordell\|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell\|talk]]) 20 April 2016		I think [the above rifle] is a Westley Richards "droplock".
