Phew!
Could have gone viral like that fake news stuff.
I say viral I mean Christchurch.

There is nowhere more viral than Christchurch....

Thanks Mark. They certainly sound serious about remaking the Webley Service. I hope they've done their market research. At least it'll answer the question 'what if Webley had done...?'

I wonder which iconic guns they'll recreate next, the BSA Military Pattern? The Tell 3 pistol? The Improved Model 'D'?

Well I'd buy one even without the peep sight.

However it would have to have the original iron sights - nor the hideous additions shown on the original pics.

The Cox Britannia would be my choice, as the principle of working parts behind the breech results in a very compact true carbine. In fact, these Edwardian rifles were 'Bullpups' before the name had entered common usage.

I once handled a modified Britannia that was fitted with a neat little forend, so maybe something along those lines with perhaps a more conventional stock that fits over the working parts?

Bullpup ?
Mines more like a Bullworker - remember them

I do think the Brittannia is my choice for a makeover too John.

Britannia is a good choice.

How about a CO2 version of the Sterling sub-machine gun (single shot, obv).

Well Sterling Arms have had their FB account suspended and the domain name is up for sale

If you have your money down as a deposit I would demand an explanation now

[Phil B]

Bummer. I was looking forward to those guns too.

Hi, I see that some are are not listing any model now. Has the whole enterprise come to nothing? I'll be very disappointed if so. I thought they had some good ideas and liked that they were concentrating at the high end of the market.
