RE: Whitworth rifle company
I haven't heard of Whitworth for years!!! I didn't know the sold converted 1917 enfields.....but they used to do a fine job of commercial mausers.....I never owned one.....they always looked like a premium high grade Safari type rifle.
They are not listed in my 2001 shooters bible.....I assume they are defunct!
