Finishing

In many trades and crafts, a 'finish' is something that is applied after an object is made in order to enhance and beautify it. In Westley Richards, however, there is nothing superficial about finishing a gun. Here, finishing is a series of processes that make perfect every surface, every movement and every function of the weapon. Metal parts are blacked, blued or burnished to a depth and sheen that ensures their longevity. Fine walnut stocks are smoothed, oiled and polished to enhance every detail of their natural beauty - and mechanisms are finely adjusted and lubricated so that they work with utter precision and reliability under every possible condition. A finished Westley Richards gun has an unsurpassed elegance and beauty that pays tribute to the hundreds of hours of painstaking craftsmanship that have gone into its making.
