New Webley Service

[Josie & John]

Thanks Mark. They certainly sound serious about remaking the Webley Service. I hope they've done their market research. At least it'll answer the question 'what if Webley had done...?'

I wonder which iconic guns they'll recreate next, the BSA Military Pattern? The Tell 3 pistol? The Improved Model 'D'?

The Cox Britannia would be my choice, as the principle of working parts behind the breech results in a very compact true carbine. In fact, these Edwardian rifles were 'Bullpups' before the name had entered common usage.

I once handled a modified Britannia that was fitted with a neat little forend, so maybe something along those lines with perhaps a more conventional stock that fits over the working parts?
