Tuning options for Webley Vulcan.

[PCPShooter]

Is it true that the Vulcan and the Birmingham Stingray are virtually the same? If that is the case, would the stock from the Stingray fit the Vulcan, it comes farther forward, to me it looks tidier.

The Vulcan from memory has a rounded end (rear plug) the Stingray flat. the stock will fit, but looks 'daft / gappy'

Internally, the main change was the stingray uses breach pivot bolt, central axis, the Vulcan a pin below centre point axis (and thus should never be bolt converted)

Both the Vulcan and the Stingray have the rounded rear endcap. The flat endcap is on the Excel, C1 and Victor.

I believe the stock does fit, it's just finding one, that's the problem.

Thanks guys, now to find one.

In theory if theres a gap you could fill it with a piece of the same type of wood (or different if you want it to stand out) and a matching filler if blending in, you only want to do that to a scrapper though.
Other alternative is make a new stock but thats not cheap especially if you aren't doing it yourself.

Just out of interest, does anyone sell tuning kits for Webleys similar to the TBT kit? I've watched the video and like what they make, particularly the two piece spring guide.
Thanks

The only Webley kit I've seen is Jim Maccaris kit.
Works very well in my Vulcans, especially combined with the purple Webley parachute seal.

I think Welsh Willy does one, he does them for the Stingray and I think they fit the Vulcan.

Welsh Willy certainly does some Webley springs

I have a webley vulcan that I picked up at the bash, it is booked to be on the bench Friday afternoon.

Could you give me his details, I'm new. Also, what is a parachute seal please?

Thanks

How do I find Welsh Willy please, this is all new to me.
There wasn't an internet last time I had a air rifle.
Thanks

You'll find his site of you google "air rifle headquarters".
A parachute seal is one that has a flexible lip that expands under pressure. The 27mm Webley seal came in two generations, the early PTFE
ring backed by a thin rubber washer, and then the later purple urethane version with a flexible lip.
