New Webley Service

[T 20]

Interesting. Please tell us more!

Kind regards,

John

One was shown on the Vintage American Airgun forum about five years ago, John.

The gun was a near perfect copy of the MK2 service except it had a plastic stock.

I'll do a search later to see if I can find the thread.

Agreed, it spoils the whole line of the rifle.

Thanks for that clearer picture, Steve. The screen shot from the video shows the rifle but little detail.
It's a pity they didn't stick to open sights, as there's plenty of room at the rear of the breech block to mount a decent rear sight, as per the original.

Have to agree I would of liked the flip up sight on this like the original would of set it of nice .

Looks like it railed for a scope? Wouldn’t that look strange?

Yes, can't see any opens on it at all - let's hope that's because this is a prototype/show gun and not the finished product!

An interesting concept but it has a lot to live up to as the original is legendary.

It's a prototype so I hope the rear sight is still under discussion. It is by far the most exciting new air rifle I've seen in years. I will buy one if and when they make them.

I just hope they get rid of that really annoying round headed screw behind the trigger

Get a grip, Nick --- it's only a copy of an old Webley.

Now if they'd made an updated version of the Bonehill Britania with a HW80 sized cylinder, adjustable stock, match trigger and a scope rail, that would have been exciting.

yeah, agreed... I've posted on here before about what a great format for a gun that Bonehill is. I think a "hammer" trigger design should work (like the scorpion), that way the actaul mech itself remains self contained and nicely adjustable, and the hammer impacts the main sear that stays attached to the cylinder. Cylinder bore was around 27.5mm, with loads of spring room, so all it needs is a it more stroke, and a shorter port.

Fair point, and in my excitement I had forgotten the Gamo Maxxim Elite.

Thank you Mick.

That's a new one on me. Doesn't look like it has a peep sight but then I can't see one on the 'new' Service either. I shall be at the show tomorrow and try to find out a little more about this project.

Edit: I can now see from other posts that a horrible plastic looking optic has been fitted, which goes against the principle of the original. Paul O'Donnell makes some incredibly good replica 3rd series peep sights and I'd rather see one of these on the rifle than some modern optic.

Kind regards,

John
