Curious about the Webley C1 stock

[vintage]

I had a Beeman C1 carbine in the early 90's. It was my main rifle at my gun club back then. It had awesome power for such a small rifle. The recoil a touch heavy. The shotgun style stock was a collaboration between Beeman and Webley. As you know the C1 was basically a Vulcan in a different stock.

I have a Vulcan and I love it, a great rifle (mine is .177) and my go to plinker on my little home range. A fair few must have been sold here in the UK then? I was under the impression they were made for the States... I am starting to feel the need to have one of these.

To be really pedantic, it’s probably better described as based on the Victor (no safety catch, at least on the early ones, and the thinner 15mm barrel shared with the Vulcan Mk1, but not the Mk2, which predated the C1) with a shorter barrel and the different stock, but, unlike the Victor, with the full-power spring from the Vulcan.

...to be a bit more pedantic,the vulcan mk1/c1 had a 14.5mm barrel

You got me there.

So.... if one had a stock these could be built from different rifles? Not that I am going to do it, I wonder if Dr Beeman just went through the Webley catalogue and chose one of this, one of that and came up with the wonderful little C1?

now that you mention it someone at one of the meets I went to had a few C1 stocks for sale , cant think of his name but he used to be a member on here ! Think it was the same guy bought all Dennis Hillers stuff (sure it will come to me in a bit ) But IJ will deffo know

Mally, I would definitely be interested in a stock and making up some sort of C1. I hope whoever has them may read this...?
