Hi John, thanks that was what I ended up doing and it turned out better than I had hoped for It’s a little bit ‘freckly’ in a few spots but I can live with that.
Around midnight last night I was at the kitchen table re-painting all the gold lettering much to her indoors annoyance
The rear site was badly broken but I’m going to put a scope on it anyway but the best thing about it is it has had literally no use,it was bought on a whim by my mate and just sat there,there is zero wear to it so internally all it’s had is a bit of a polish and lube and I’ve replaced the piston seal with a parachute style one. The original looked brand new but was very tight in the chamber, do they swell like the Mercury/Airsporter seals? Atb,Phil
I had two Vulcan KS rifles in 22 Cal and one of them really liked those self assembly Prometheus pellets. Wish I'd never sold them. Recently started building a Stingray from a box of bits, bent barrel and butchered and snapped stock screws. Does anyone know what thread size were used by Webley before they went Turkish?
Thats the weird thing, they combined metric and UNC, at least on the Vulcan.
I have measured the front stocks screws on the Vulcan to be 3/16x24, and the rear stock screw going into the back block to be a standard M5.
The self threading front screw on the trigger guard can be replaced with a 3/16x24.
Too many airguns!
Thanks evert,
I'd noticed an M5 fits the rear block, it's the same on my Eclipse, though that now has a pair of M5 in the front..... I'd bought some off Chambers for the Stingray and thought they looked a bit Imperial, rather like some stainless ones I bought for a Rapid 7 a while ago, but I didn't want to wind them in as they're reportedly made out of chocolate. I want to get a tap and tidy the threads up, or cut a slot down a suitable screw and use that, it sometimes cleans a thread up without cutting deeper into the metal.
It's got a fat grip
And a skinny trigger blade
No second pull just the one I'm afraid
The barrel will wobble
And the plastic sight break on sight
A safety but no beartrap
And a seal on the port side
A big funnel at the breech
But the blueing is a peach
It's a Webley Vulcan and its got
TWELVE FOOT PAAAHNDS TWELVE FOOT PAAAAHNDS TWELVE FOOT PAAAAHNDS
They looked at the foreign competition and decided to take notes
Lost them in the pub or somewhere, a trouser in the wash?
Then upgraded the old Hawks, those manky old goats.
Webley ... six letters exported to young Turkey.
Good luck with that mate.
A badly designed poem for a badly designed springer.
The Webley Vulcan trigger
Is quite a peach
If you know what your doing
Or as it once was, solely missed
A Steve Pope or Venom sweet tweak
A Mk3 trigger blade is just the fatty that we all seek
And fits all the models
A rounded end plug so neat
The ups grades were not lost
Or maybe just lost on you
But agree that since Webley went to Turkey
Things have turned to goo
But look on the bright side
There's more than a few that's about
For a Mk1 2 & 3 Vulcan
Is British no doubt
