    CO2 Coversions

    Who used to make CO2 conversions of springers, like the Webley Premier? Has anyone done a prewar BSA underlever or similar? How much work is involved in these? Must be a drop in unit sealed with 'O' rings, no?

    Not CO2, Alistair, but this BSA underlever was turned into a PCP quite recently.

    I was going to suggest Ged, before he went 'supernova' of course. But perhaps he only made the one co2 Webley pistol conversion for himself...

    John Walker of Hull used to do CO2 and PCP conversions on various rifles and pistols, but he no longer does them.
    I have a PCP Webley Mk,II Service and a CO2 Webley Senior, both converted by John.

    That's him, John Walker. How does the Service shoot? Must be great with no recoil.

    Lawrie Amatruda converted a BSA underlever to CO2 last year. Saw it at the Bisley show, all the new internals he made himself and it still looks like the original rifle. The valve hammer is cocked using the underlever. Think it puts out about 8 ft.lb.
