Most graceful air rifle ever designed?

[jackal1]

To my eye the Webley Service Mk2 is probably unsurpassed for sheer design beauty - olde worlde charm coupled with superb workmanship. I particularly love the way the steps from barrel to cylinder, and breech to stock, have been graduated, so no disruption to the lines, unlike the Mk1 rifle.

I can't help thinking the Webley service rifles are amongst the most hideous ever produced.

Unlike a certain member, I don't think all barrel over cylinder webleys are hideous. And as a respectful collector I would never use one as a doorstop, hammer or fishing weight

Lots of plastic though isn't there Ian?

Its Crosman.

It was a bin bag liner holder actually.

It breaks the heart

The blued Ansonia's are quite willowy looking. If form follows function, top spot has to go to the Bsa Lincoln Jeffries.

Agreed, I used the exact same word - hideous! -to describe them the other day.
