Phew!
Could have gone viral like that fake news stuff.
I say viral I mean Christchurch.

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'?

[PaulR]

Well I'd buy one even without the peep sight.

However it would have to have the original iron sights - nor the hideous additions shown on the original pics.

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?

Bullpup ?
Mines more like a Bullworker - remember them

I do think the Brittannia is my choice for a makeover too John.

Britannia is a good choice.

How about a CO2 version of the Sterling sub-machine gun (single shot, obv).

[Mark D]

Well Sterling Arms have had their FB account suspended and the domain name is up for sale

If you have your money down as a deposit I would demand an explanation now
