Someone converted the old Webleys to CO2, how difficult is this? Anyone sell a drop-in conversion?

John Walker of Hull apparently, according to this old thread, but not many made and no longer available.

To be honest I thought that was a wind up question until I saw who'd posted it - I'm amazed anyone actually did that. What an unusual conversion.
John Walker did some amazing CO2 conversions. I had a Lee Enfield he did, very clever.
Also our own Gedfin has done some.

I would certainly like one if it would mean I could use a Senior, MK1 or Premier at close to 6ftlbs!
Imagine,an accurate and,(rellatively) powerful Webley over lever pistol.What an enhancement to their wonderful build quality that would be!
I'll take three kits please!
Yes I did make one, & Yes it was a " Drop in " Conversion, With a milled end screw.
I started to post Pics of it , but I got some flak on my machining so I did not bother .
I have seen a couple of the conversions, As was said with a Sparklets in the handle & Another, These were no where near drop in conversions,
I did mention & Used an active piston,
This had a valve machined in it at the end, Loaded with a light main spring it fired on reaching the end of its stroke, It was charged , ( Bulk fill ) Insitu.
I bought a Tempest off mr Flatrajectory for the purpose, But was later given a steel pistol , This had the advantage of that screwed end cap that could be milled out much easier to direct air to the barrel.
The Webleys have a solid piston , This helped but I made a new one longer to hold more Co2, Power is dependant on the main spring ? I still have it,
Cheers Ged.
It sounds very interesting I for one would like to see pics of it!
