    I've just had a look at his web site. What a lovely looking rifle. A small price to pay for a piece of prescision engineering.

    Whiscombe

    I am content with an early tilt barrel JW 50 with thumbhole and sporter stocks, 0.177" & 0.22" barrels, a lovely rifle to look at and shoot. set at 11.7 fpe in 0.177" (so dare not use a 0.22" without detuning). Precision engineering at its best!

    I've got the 0.22 barrel for mine as well but John gave me instructions on how to swap barrels along with a small grub screw type thing that apparently will allow the power to be reduced when the 0.22 barrel is attached (not tried this yet though)

    JW 50

    I don`t think power adjustment was featured on the early tilt barrel models such as 50-0028 for example.

    I owned a JW60FB, Serial # 0001

    Sold it back to John in a time of need and abject stupidity .

    It was the most accurate air rifle that I've ever shot.

    I wonder where it is now, being well treated I hope.
