Look at the trigger blade, people.

So, here is a close up.

you may have to tell them who was the nearest I.J.

[johnbaz]

the stock has the lines of a 70's milbro or is it diana but looks too nice, though it does look like cheap pressed in chequering.

the bugger looks so familiar to me- frustrating

And the answer is:

HERE !

I must try harder.

Well done to those that were oh so close but the nearest was IKARMA who wins my Golden Anorak award.

From what little information I can gather its had a gas ram conversion fitted at the Webley (Theoben ? ) factory. Possibly a prototype for a future rifle series.

End block.

I've always taken the wazz out of SMK's, but was given one recently to muck about with. It still needs some work, but it's doing 11.4 ft/lb with a variation of 2 ft/sec! (HWK internals). Barrel re-crowned. I've redone all the trigger, which is very useable now (took yonks). The barrel wasn't locking up too good, but thats been done now. Barrel has also been shimmed on either side to eliminate unwanted windage shift. Couple of pound of lead in the stock. Action cushioned into stock with draught excluder. Recoil is now negligable. First impressions are good, but really tested in anger yet.

GOD FORGIVE ME>

Anyway, back to question...deffo a diopter gun. I'd still go on some FWB model.

Which SMK was it?

O.K. anoraks at the ready. In my last three quizzes I was beaten by the BBS Brains. Now, I feel lucky with THIS one.

WHATS THIS GUN?

The only clues I will give you is that its .22 and a break barrel.

(Smug) Ian.

Oooh I know I know ... it's an early smooth-bore SMK and someone has filed a groove on the top of the action for every time it has missed a ten yard target ... I see it has been fired five times then . Ha ha ha! Hiya Ian (nudge nudge wink wink ). I'm saying nothing ... (Gareth).

Hi Ian, well it wasn't my guess @ post #6 (copied above ) then so is it a one-off factory prototype gas ram Webley & Scott Omega ? .... Ha ha. Nice one matey. See, I can keep a secret (helped by the fact that I've been away all day and could'nt get to a pc ). Well done my friend, good sport, and a very good find : ATB.

Which SMK was it?

It's a 19. One of those in the nice stock. Carbine with a silencer that weighs about 2lb. (hence the 2lb of lead in the stock to balance it.

[I. J.]

Today I took the Omega to B.A.R. to have the gas ram pumped up (cheers Danny ). I wasn't even sure there was any seals inside the gas ram because it was totally empty when I bought it. I'm well pleased to say after a few attempts at getting the power set correctly, after the first took it too near the legal limit, its now doing a healthy 10.8 ft.lbs with Accupell and shooting very smoothly.
I shall wait now and see if the seals hold pressure.
