    The Flip up breech did anyone like them?

    Safe but inefficient

    Yes, I do like them, whether on the Webley or on the Anschutz they copied it from.

    Inefficient, safe, but really quite appealing.

    Have you got any pics of a Anschutz flip up breech?

    No. I knew it was one of those Germans. I meant Walther.

    didn't mind them but preferred the roll breach.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    Me too, took some getting used to on my eclipse but worked ok, the rb2 i had was so much better once you got the knack of sliding pellets down it so they didn't flip over.(short bodied pellets that is)

    Yes, that was the best alternative to slide breech, BSA were on to something there; just a bit under engineered, and strangely works the wrong way.

    Thanks for the pictures
    Do the pellets load into the barrel like the DIana and Webley?

    There was a good one on the Feinwerkbau 100 series air pistol.

    All the other ones are a bit sad, never mind the inefficiencies of the device.

    They remind me of the trap-door loading system on Snider rifles, a sort of half-arsed temporary thing that would do at a pinch until something better could be devised.

    I think you are thinking of something like a trapdoor springfield as the snider opens sideways unlike the flip up breaches.

    The Bakal mp46k Steyr lp1/lp10 and Tau also use flip up breaches. They make sense on a PCP rifle/pistol.
    FWB P8X,Hammerli AP40, Steyr LP1 Walther LPM-1, CPM-1, CP1, CP2, LP3, LP53, LP300, LP400, Terrus, Pardini P10, FX Wildcat .177, HW100 .22, AA S410 .22, BSA R10 MK2 .177, , HW77, 80, 90 BB AK47, S&W 586 and more blow back Co2 BBs than you can shake a stick at

    Had a Mk. 1 Webley Eclipse with the "flip-up" breech in .22 Cal. and I liked it as it was so easy to load.
    Maybe the idea should be revisited ?

    I like them.
    Mainly because people often try and put a pellet in the wrong hole.
