Am I alone in finding the above remark offensive - or have I missed some sort of "in" joke?

So a MK1 Premier started it, purchased on a whim 2 weeks ago, Today I came across a nice MK1, All original, good grips and shooting lovely in .177....It would have been rude not to

Whats considered the Target model?, I can find little that shows this as a different pistol and when I try to look up MK1 Target it comes up with the MK1 as I got today, I've also gained a couple of nice pellet tins with the pistols, one a Webley and the other a Lanes along with an oil bottle so I'm thinking the correct thing to do is get a couple of boxes, I have some Burgundy Baize and some nice period brass clasps and hinges so fitted cases it is....This is a whole new hobby

What type of oil bottle ?

It was following a comment earlier in the thread which was a very off the cuff remark as in a "rather do that than collect Webley's" response, IJ would have meant no offence what so ever to anyone (other than possibly Webley pistol collectors)

What type of oil bottle ?

Not a Webley one, Its a small metal bottle with a screw cap that has a dropper pin fixed in it and a small spout on the bottle, Can see any markings on the bottle but it's a nice item

Nail on the heed. I would hate to offend anyone on here except, of course, Wobbly pistol (and Relum Tornado ) owners. They are fair game.
Consider it fishing without getting cold and wet. Some bite - some dont. Its all in fun.

OK I now (sort of) get it and I thank you for explaining.

In response to your explanation :-

It's just that I know blind people and so (I hope) you can see that the idea that they get shit on their hands is not, per se, hilarious although I can now accept that you were making an extreme point with regard to your opinion of Webleys.

2. 'They are accurate' Compared to a Gat - yes.

Or a Steyr?

Isn't it about time we Webley fans started slagging off Kraut crap, or are we too well mannered.

Tis true but I was shooting against Paul 'Hippo' Wray who many acknowledge as not being of the human species.

I think Im right in stating that the Wobbly used on this occasions has been in bits for the past year.

Agreed. Lets start with the horrible FWB65/80s.

You can't just drop that in with no explanation other than "horrible"!

Is it that you don't like things that have long production runs, like Webley pistols and FWB springers?
