Britannia differences...
Just picked up another one at Kempton.. I know I'm supposed to be having a clearout, but 8 out, 1 in, is pretty good isn't it ?
Besides it was heavily pitted in the past, and I felt sorry for it.
Anyways, whilst comparing them, I noticed that the newer joiner, serial 17xx, seems to have a longer cocking stroke. See pic here.. with the cylinders all aligned, the barrel doesn't come down anywhere near as far before engaging with the piston - about 10mm less. Clearly I am now going to have to strip them all to compare, but is anyone aware of any differences (besides the rearsight variants) ? the ones middle and bottom are serial 15xx and 12xx respectively.
Thanks,
JB

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
