Thanks for the tutorial. I bet a lot of folks never knew that history.
I've been messing with Lovell wildcats since around 1979. A mis-spent youth spent reading C.S.Landis over and over lead me down that rabbit hole. Currently custom single shot Krag in .22 Maximum Lovell, and a bull barreled single shot '03 Springfield in R2 Lovell are singing Hervey's praises. (The Krag was built by Hervey himself.)
God help me, I'm seriously considering building a high end small Martini custom job chambered in, you guessed it, R2 Lovell. (I have a decent stash of R2 G&H virgin or almost virgin brass with which to feed it/them but I'm always on the hunt for more....)
