    The Webley Mk 3 (underlever) in .22 should make between 9 and 10 ft/lbs so yours sounds a little down on the power. Lube job and new spring probably bring it back up to power. The Webley Hawk Mk 3 (break-barrel) made about 9 ft/lbs as well.

    Not heard of a Mavic before, what is it?

    I googled for Mavic and all I found was cycle wheels. Now I know why.

    The Marvic gold is a very desirable rifle! Is it the gold? If it is it has an almost shotgun appearance...most men have pin ups with women on them...real men have a pin up of the Marvic Gold....

    Marvic Gold

    Yes it is the Marvic Gold and it is a really nice looking gun and it shoots very well indeed. Very accurate and although chrono,d at 10 foot pounds it seems more, very good range on her and accurate. Off hand at 30 metres I am hitting a target no more than 2 or 3 inches and I am not the steadiest of shots. It must be capable of a lot more. Where would I get spares for this if I needed them?
