‘Support your local gun shop’ Westlake Engineering Alan starts to strip a Buckmark Westlake Engineering, Run by Alan Westlake specialise in Target Pistols. In 1985 Alan purchased “Britarms” and brought the .22 Britarms UIT Target Pistol back into production. Up until the Pistol ban in 1997 Alan made Britarms and converted S&W Revolvers for UIT type shooting and for PPC and 1500 He also made a name as one of the foremost Browning 9mm “Tuners” setting them up for Service Pistol Shooting. In 1996 Alan set up a Machine shop so that he could do all his own machining without having to borrow other peoples machines or buy in machined parts. While getting out of the Kit car business that was the other half of the work he did. Shortly afterwards he developed a Two part replacement Cylinder, for the Remington Army Revolver, which uses Shotgun primers and Nitro powder. This was followed by the Nitro .38 Conversion, where the barrel is replaced for a stainless steel Cal.38 Barrel and the replacement cylinder is made to use .38 Wadcutter bullets. This being as close as you are going to get to the S&W 38 we all love and lost. Using this system Alan now converts Remington Army, Rogers and Spencer and Ruger old Army Revolvers. There is also a .38 S&W Spl Long Pistol, based on a Remington Army Revolver. Using the two part cylinder chambered for .38 spl. In 2004 Alan produced the first .22 Britarms Long Pistol and after a lengthy battle with the Home Office ( Details are on the Westlake Engineering website) was able to put it into the marketplace. This then paved the way for the Buckmark .22 Long Pistol Conversion, As Browning were by This proved to be a bad career move, as the Pistol Ban closed his business down, not helped by the Home Office, taking twelve months to start to process his claim for compensation for all the pistols and parts handed in. However, eventually Alan decided to start making Black Powder Muzzle Loading Pistols, producing the Phoenix, followed by the Clubmaster, a simplified and cheaper pistol using the same superb trigger system as the Phoenix. Standard weight Buckmark Nitro .38 Ruger Old Army then, able to supply the base rifles for conversion. These now form the bulk of the Long pistols supplied, as they are half the price of a Britarms which have now been taken out of production. Alan will also modify pistols such as the Ruger Redhawk, fitting Balance rods and shortening the barrels back to 12 inches, or changing the Taurus wrist brace to a straight balance rod and weight. The latest product developed is the .357 Taurus Muzzle Loading Revolver. This is a conversion of the .357magnum Taurus Long Barrelled Revolver. Which has the Cylinder removed and the crane modified to accept a new Muzzle loading Cylinder, then the wrist brace is removed and the Barrel shortened. A conversion for the .44 Magnum will be available in the not too distant future. http://westlakeengineering.com/ 12 Target Shooter
Tel/Fax 01722782432 Email; ags.westlake@virgin.net/ Website; www.westlakeengineering.com The Taurus ML Revolver is converted from a Taurus .357 Magnum Long Barrelled Revolver. The cylinder is removed and a Yoke extension fitted, this contains the spring loaded plunger that frees the action when the yoke is closed. As this extension cannot be removed, it prevents the re-fitting of the original cylinder. The Barrel is shortened to approximately 5 ¼ inches and the wristbrace is removed. A new cylinder is made which has pockets for shotgun primers at the rear with a small flash hole through into the chamber at the front. The chamber is made to accept .357” lead wadcutter bullets. The conversion of your pistol costs £330.00. Extra Cylinders are £180.00 each. If you do not have a pistol I can order a new pistol from the Importers. Welcome to GT Shooting.
