    Hi Mel,

    It's a special Bob made for me, rather than one he's advertised. It's very well made and I tend to use the 1 inch bell aperture all the time for pistol work.

    I've got one of Bobs bell targets.....every shooting household should have one....great bit of kit and bit of fun when a break is needed from paper punching.

    Thanks for all the replies

    Those black Milbro darts look suspiciously similar to the ones I have already, but they have some on Amazon so I'll give them a try, and will look at the other suggestions as well.

    The darts are for a Webley Senior with a cut down spring which makes it easier for my old dad to cock. The shorter spring has lessened the recoil quite a bit, and I can hit the bullseye on a dartboard 7 times out of ten with it.

    Cheers

    I wouldn't recommend using darts in a rifled Senior barrel as the steel shank of the dart may well damage the rifling if it gets distorted. If you must use darts in the Senior, I'd suggest a drop of oil down the barrel before a shooting session and a thorough examination of each dart before loading.

    The rifling is on the way out anyway. The pistol's an old knacker which I spent many hours on bringing it back to life. I wouldn't put darts in my other Webleys, as they're in excellent condition.

    Sounds fair enough to me then!

    Be worth it Mel. I use it a lot and it is almost indestructible!
