Westley Richards Centerfire Monkey Tail Carbine
This review details the rare Westley Richards Centerfire Monkey Tail Carbine, a 19th-century breechloader that used combustible paper cartridges. Originally a capping breech loader, this centerfire variant offered improved speed and reliability for frontier use without metallic cases. Despite its innovative design and historical significance, including use by the Boers, its development ended due to rust issues in trials for metallic cartridges.
