	The National Rifle Association Firearms Museum located in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. is presently featuring its Frank Wesson No. 2 Single Shot target rifle. The rifle is located in Case No. 46 for those who would like to view it. A second Single Shot Rifle of interest, would be their Webley & Scott falling block rifle chambered in .450 Nitro caliber.

	Hello Fritz: There were a couple that I am aware of that were photographed and printed, and I believe that, possibly, Ken Hurst may have engraved one. Let me look around here and see if I may be able to help you further with your question. Regards, Creedmoormatch

	We did one of the very first ones of his FWesson #1 as the raffle rifle in 2004/5. It wasa first unveiled as the cover story on the july-august 2004 issue and raffleld at the Fall shoot in 2005 If my memory is correct. There were a number of "in-progress" articles on it between those two dates. I do not believe an ASSRA raffle gun has been done with one of the #2s. I spoke with him at the spring Shoot at Etna Green and I know he has sold several of the actions. I do not know if any have been publicly completed yet. Like all of Steve's work they are impeccable in fit and finish; and in reality, far superior to the originals. I'd love to have one myself, but I still have one of the early #1 actions all ready barreled and chambered in .40-70SS all ready to be stocked that is long overdue on the back burner
