    Venom Excel TDR, made in the mid-'90s. PM me for a scan of an article about it if you want.

    Was that based on a Webley hawk? The block and barrels look more of a Mk1 set up but without the locating peg. Is it a Mk 3 that they played around with the block and barrel on?

    my idea was a folding stock like on the venom but then using a wing nut on where the cocking arm meets the breech block so you could unscrew it in seconds and fold the barrel round

    i did something similar with a victor as a sprog,poorly drilled pegs so i could refit the rear stock to the pistol grip
    i can also recall it falling off during cocking and smacking me in the chin...happy days
