Hex Bore - The Whitworth Research Project

Hex Bore is a project by Research Press for the study of Whitworth rifles and ordnance.

Through the Whitworth Research Project, Bill Curtis and De Witt Bailey established a database of 700 known Whitworth rifles. This database is now being managed by David Minshall of Research Press.

If you have access to ANY original hex bore Whitworth from the period 1857-1865 please note its serial number and letter for recording. Please contact David Minshall at Research Press with details.
