    Classic leftie wanted

    Getting a bit fed up with most rifles being mildly RH, so on the lookout for a nice classic LH stock rifle.
    Something like a FWB 124/127, Webley Omega, not sure what else of this vintage would have come in LH drive?

    I guess target rifles of this era too, although have a LH FWB300 :-)

    Thanks!
    Thanks - Geoff.

    Would the hw35 in leftie have the barrel latch on the other side?
    It's a bit of a reach round if not.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have a Left Hand Drive, pardon the pun.. Walther 66 Griss System Target Model,complete in it's Handmade Box ..And also an Original 75..The
    66 shoots ok..The 75 need's new seals, These Rifles do not belong to me.They are a friend of a friend's and are from a bereavement .
    He would like £200.00 for the 66 and he asked me try for £175.00 for the 75..
    I don't want to get involved in POSTAGE or Traveling Expences so it would be face to face only..

    Regard's

    The original models are a nice concept, and I have shot a friends 6M? which is so lovely, but for the complexity, im not going to buy one as a rifle, as it would tear me up if it went wrong in a big way.

    the HW35 has the barrel catch on the wrong side, I had a lovely RH 35E dated 1980 not so long ago, but sold it due to the catch.

    Maybe I can add a wanted ad for an early HW80 with open sights to the list. Must be mid 80s latest.

    i did try an early HW77 in LH I was offered recently, but while I have a couple of underlevers, I prefer side levers and break barrels.



    Thanks!
    Thanks - Geoff.
