The Webley & Scott Vulcan Air Rifle -- A Vox-Pop History

[Hsing-ee]

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

The hours spent in chase of a sensation - the perfect piston cyclic feeling;
Making piston weights and fitting washers - endcaps smash into the workshop ceiling.
What once was fun becomes chore - setting springs and cutting fingers, fitting guides and smearing grease;
Then a packet from across the border - in it there's a Webley Vulcan, and the dream comes true with ease.
