    Question Did Venom ever do a run of custom Eclipse's???

    Am I right in thinking Venom did do a run of fancy custom Webley Eclipse's??? Is it my imagination when I seem to remember them featuring in the Venom add's of the times???

    Venom Eclipse

    I am sure they did. My eclipse has a Brass venom custom shop trigger guard, having made these then i am sure they must have tuned a few.

    Thanks Justin.

    Hi Justin, Is your Eclipse tuned aswell

    If anyone has pictures of a Venom Eclipse then please post them.....I like the Venom look
    If you choke a smurf, what colour does it turn?

    Tuning

    Tom,

    I don't think it was tuned, I bought it secondhand without even seeing it from McAvoy Guns. It wasn't in the best of condition but i wanted something to tinker with.

    I fitted a Theoben Gas Ram System to it (Very Very Quiet) and with accupell it is pushing between 11.6 to 12flb.

    Although it is very smooth i can't realy get used to the recoil. There isn't much of it but the gas rams action works oposite to a spring system and so the whole firing action seems back to front.

    I use my HW80 Venom Lazaglide in .20 for most of my airgunning, I am looking to use the Eclipse for close range ratting if i can pick up some open sights?
    I may have some lying around from an old webley omega.

    When i searched a few options for tuning, I also spoke with Terry @ T.R Robb and he said that due to webleys alloy Action/Chamber then you have to be very carefull not to damage the rear of the Action / thread etc.

    Sorry i can't be of further help.

    Why not give Steve Pope a call @ V-Mach, He is very helpfull & usually supplies the answers to my questions.

    Cheers
    Justin.

    Ah, so your Eclipse is standard, bt has a blingy brass trigger guard

    It sound like these must have been a pain in the arris for the venom guys to work on Judging by the reply you had from Terry.

    I do prefer a scope for hunting as I am not confident using opens But I love to plink with them Your Venom Lazaglide sounds like a cracking gun Wouldn't mind trying a .20, but then I could just use bis mags in my .177 and get the same effect ........Right?

    I dont want to bother Steve, as it really isn't that important....Plus I have sent him an email today so am awaiting prices for things

    Thanks for your help mate
