The C1 is a short-barrelled, straight-handed carbine version of the Webley Victor. The Webley Victor was the youth/budget version of the Vulcan which saved a few pounds by having a more basic stock and no safety-catch. The Victor was also fitted with a slighty weaker spring I think, although the full-power Vulcan one was fitted to the C1.

It is a bonnie little rifle, except for the usual Vulcan/Victor failings like the lack of a breech-bolt allowing the barrel to wobbly about and the rather rudimentary trigger.

You can smooth the trigger out with polishing, adding a trigger shoe to the nasty thin blade also helps and a breech-bolt can be fitted by a competent gunsmith. The power-plant is very consistent and powerful if lubricated correctly (watch out they are easy to put over the limit in .22). They require extra-special care when firing as they are both powerful and light springers so they are very hold-sensitive, once you have mastered the technique it will make a super short-range hunting carbine, great for rats and shots up into trees.

A rare and interesting member of the Webley Clan and one which will appreciate.
