Have a look at dedicated ladies guns they’re made to suits the body shape. Some women shoot standard guns very well but worth trying a proper ladies gun for fit.

The serial numbers would tell you upto a certain year then it changed. So only true way is to contact Alan Rhône and ask.

It’s about time all the components were uk made again as they used to be. No supply problems then.

Cracking looking wood grain on it, James the woodworking gunsmith will know what’s needed. Good lad who does a cracking job. You have a link to your YouTube channel ?
