hi all,i dont know about the holy grail of airguns but the mk2 is a very pleasant thing to own and shoot .i also have quite a few BSA prewar underlevers.i like those a lot to shoot and own as well.i think one of the more enjoyable aspects of the MK2 is that most folk have never seen one and show great interest in such a quirky piece.i think the price differential is down to the webleys more complicated contruction means they have not survived in the numbers that the superbly engineered but more simply constructed BSA underlevers have.heres a few poor photo's of my MK2 which although in good mechanical condition had no original finish or pleasing patina so i restored it..cheers greasemonkey. http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...pstnpnqttf.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...psksfo2zpb.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...psclv97gxg.jpg
