The Osprey was a complete goat compared to the Hammerli 400 series.
No need to be rude I know but it was.
Baaaaaah!
may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration

I'm happy for you to call Webley all you like Alistair --- they turned me down for an apprenticeship.
Mind you, so did BSA.
All the best Mick

Probably just as well, the penny-pinching engineering and lost opportunities would have driven you to drink or worse...Originally Posted by T 20

Interestingly Alistair
At the time (1977) BSA said they weren't gunsmiths as such but a precision engineering company.
Webley did send me a nice book on Webley history along with my dear John letter, so it wasn't all for nothing.

BSA must have based that idea on their history of making precisely-engineered motorcycles (hahahahahahahahaha!) as my 1973 Meteor has numerous deviations from the concept of 'precision'. I see no-one is clamouring to buy the 'piled arms' badge to stick on a Shanghaicycle.Interestingly Alistair

And Webley sent you a history? Well, they are now. Innit.

I bought a second hand Osprey in the mid 80's it wasnt anything special to look at but was one of the most accurate rifles i ever had.
If you get a good one hang onto it!

I had my Osprey ST serviced. Goal: nice shooting behaviour. As it is an oldie and ST, power not important.
The spring was replaced with 1 with other thread thickness, HW spring guide was fitted.
Its a very nice shooter now. Ok, not recoilless, but as good as my mk3 ST in the oldies comp. Shooting ragged holes at 6 yrd standing freehand.
ATB,
