    Every day is a school day.

    The example of Omega (W & W lot 1168) and Vulcan (W & W lot 1167) I have with adjustable, not to be confused with the gas strut, were from the Wallis & Wallis auction and appear in the catalogue as '...converted by Theoben to gas ram system...'. .
    I contacted Theoben to make further inquiries and they had no knowledge of these guns. I have never seen or heard until today of another example of a gas ram Vulcan or Omega. Was Webley being naughty?
