So Ramsbottom was doing them for £179 without a scope. Hmm seems nothing special about adding sling swivels, gold trigger blade and a silencer. Mach 1.5
Nothing much at all special about it really, like most air gun specials!
Webley did quite a few, possibly more than most!
I've just found an advert from J.S.Ramsbottom from late 2004 advertising them at the same price but I don't think it came with a hard case.
A standard or carbine Stingray was £163.95(?) at the time.

There's a Drapers advert in Airgun World May 2006 listing it at £229.95.

I have a webley venom stingray express in .20 cal. I was informed only 5 were done but I cannot confirm that. Mach 1.5
Having done a few searches on this over the holiday break, I have found one good long thread on here (featuring our own Mr Mach1.5), one on the other place, and one magazine review. None mentions an LW barrel.
I’m pretty sure that if the Express had had an LW barrel, Webley would have made a fuss about it. The absence of evidence to that effect suggests that it didn’t.
The longbow was fitted with LW barrels and later Tommies had the same fitted. My .20 cal stingray has one fitted due to the fact that webley didn't do .20 but a .25 cal one for export....Oh yes please with a Simmons little WTC fitted. Mach 1.5
Iirc Webley barrels are not choked as such, LW barrels are.
They probably dont share the same twistrate either.
So that may be something to check.

My Express didn't have a box. Brought 2nd hand years ago. Full spec, lazaglide tune, .20 cal LW barrel, Walnut factory Stock, Twin Cobra sticker and DEEP blueing. Mach 1.5
