    Reworked? Stoeger Straight Grip Senior

    Sold to me as probably reblued and I have to agree but it was superbly done on a very clean pistol, grips are flawless. I actually love the white highlights. Could not resist cause I was looking for this specific pistol to continue my collection of American imports. Reworked inside as well?, surprisingly it was hitting 520 fps with a very light trigger. Must be dieseling?

    That's a real beauty Steve, refinished or not. You just do not find those checkered walnut grips over here, which is a great shame as they are so much more appealing than the usual smooth ones. Not sure about the whited-in lettering though; it kind of jars as an anachronism. Still, it can be easily removed if one feels so inclined.

    Understand the English conservatism but to me the white highlights what is interesting about it’s history, really like it. Totally agree on the grips, doubt I will ever buy anything but those with wood. There is one in the Vintage Gallery that is white highlighted. What is crazy to me is it is still holding above 500 fps. Beats all my Webleys including my Premier E and Typhoon. Trigger is the best of any as well.

    Webley mk1

    You would notice if it was dieseling, even if it did not smoke on firing sniff the barrel; this also good advice when buying second hand power tools!

    Hi,

    A lovely example of my favourite Webley air pistol, especially in ,177 calibre and fitted with those lovely wood grips.

    If it has been refinished, the process obviously didn't affect the clarity of the stampings whch still look originally deep.

    Would you mind sharing the No (not clear in the picture) as it would be nice to get an idea of the Ser No ranges exported to the USA.

    Regards
    Brian

    I like the trigger - nice target touch.
