    Only offered 2000-2005.

    Chris Thrale says the production runs were “erratic” and that they are “scarce”. Which is also my impression. Expensive break-barrels weren’t very fashionable back then.

    They werent suitable for 12Ftp trim either. No without shortstroke. So probably not sold much in the uk.
    And even less outside the uk. I probably have all of the one's sold here

    Personally, I don’t think my early standard-stroke 12ft-lbs one is bad.

    No worse than a stock HW80 and probably better than a typical 12ft-lbs Diana 48/52. The question isn’t do I like the shot cycle, or do I like the internal dimensions, but can I hit stuff with it?

    Right. But the Tommy had a rival within the brand; the Longbow. Which was made for 12Ftp and therefor the better choice

    As the name suggests they were mainly intended for the North American market.......

    I am a massive Longbow fan. Definitely one of my top three springers, and maybe the one I’d keep if I could only have one.

    But there are times I definitely prefer the dimensions, weight, and handling of the Tommie.

    A short-stroke or sleeved Tommie would be awesome.

    How many Tomahawks were Webley custom shop tuned to Sidewinders?, I have one in 0.22 smooth as silk and a delight to shoot.

    Sorry to say but there's no records of how many were made in to sidewinder. The Cobra version on the other hand...Only 12 Webley Venom Custom Shop ones made. Mach 1.5

    Shouldnt Steve know anything about those numbers?
    There are 'in-betweens'as well.
    I have a rifle with Sidewinder specs, but it doesnt have any markings or sn on it whatsoever. Prototype?
    Also 2 fully lazaglided Tommys but not shrouded.
    As said earlier; had a Cobra but sold it; stock was too big for me. Now wish I still had it. Purely as collectors item. But couldnt afford to keep it back than

    I have a Tomahawk that I got from forum member (BEESA) it’s lazerglided and as the Walther barrel fitted by V-Mach.
    Steve had a unmarked Tomahawk action ,he asked me if I wanted it for a Cobra conversion,I stupidly declined saying I was happy with my Hw80 custom that he had done for me, this was well over ten years ago.
    My Tomahawk is my favourite gun for off hand shooting.
