    bsa spitfire

    very nice gun to have so early in your years guess your well over 21 now.
    I also live in Cornwall a wonderful place to live been here about 10 years now very lucky .

    Just had to say we were all young once and if we are honest wanted the max power out of our gun's .
    we didn't care for the law we just wanted power.
    I'm an air gunner from the 1960s had air guns before I was legally able to hold one, I brought one over the counter at 15 from a gun dealer wesley's gun shop.
    real nice bloke bit of a tyrant at first but could see I was interested.
    I asked him how I could bring up the power in my relum tornado, he suggested a mod 50 spring but said i would not be able to fit it.
    well I did fit it and took it back to show him we got on really well after that so much so he lent me a book on webley's he had written .
    I have a copy still today.

    I'd look after your copy of the book you describe. It is something of a rarity as Wesley never wrote a book on webley

    Mine was tuned by John Bowkett and an excellent job done too These guns have too many small parts to loose for me to attempt and he designed the gun so the best man for the job
    John Darling JD (1946-2004) was my inspiration to be the best i can and enjoy the sport i love. R.I.P
