    A couple of weeks ago I was given a 2005 Webley Venom Viper which I was told was defective as it couldn't be recharged with air with the Logun pump that came with it.
    I gave it a quick check over and it was plain that there was an O-ring missing from the probe which I replaced from the box of O-ring from Aldi I had in the shed.
    I fitted the probe to the hose from my dive bottle and recharged it, I couldn't believe it, but the rifle has held its max. air pressure (200 bar) for a couple of weeks, so it hasn't got any serious problem with the air pressure and valve system.
    I found that the rifle which was supposed to a very accurate model had a problem as the best group I could get was around 10" at 10 yards, I email Steve at V-Mach Custom Rifles Ltd who designed and built these custom rifles for Webley (it is basically a highly modified Webley Raider) who was unbelievably helpful what a great company they are to deal with.
    After following his instruction, I am sure I have found a rectified the accuracy problem as a Steve suggested the defect was the incorrect alignment of the after-market moderator fitted to the rifle and the barrel shroud, having now taken the moderator apart and found plenty of lead chips trapped in the moderator the cause of the problem was obvious which I have now rectified.
    It is running a bit too close to the legal limit for comfort with my chronograph readings at an average of 607 f.p.s. and Ft. Lbs 11.884 over ten shots with 14.5 gr. Super Dome.
    I have yet a use it at the range.

    Is he getting better now Daz, it's been a few months since I have seen him at his workshop
    I know he wasn't well, it would be great to see him back full time at what he does best.

    How jolly dignified of you, Paul (after having that rifle wrestled away from your grasp!)

    Glad you had a most enjoyable visit to The Master.

    How's he doing? (Pm if you prefer).
