Webley Stock.

[I. J.]

The club has come into possession of a Webley Hawk (Mark 1 ?) stock after it was donated to the club.
Now, while I know this is against the BBS rules (sorry mods) Im sure you will forgive me if I state its to benefit our clubs adopted charity.

I will send this stock, which is not split, to the first (or any ) BBS member who shows an interest in it for a donation to our charity (plus postage).

Hardly an appropriate comment in the venerable Collectables Section. I think Americans call this sort of thing 'conduct unbefitting'.

Therefore its up to the 'BBS Massive' to put their hands in their collective pockets and save this masterpiece of British wood engineering heritage from the inferno.

Hi Ian,
I have no use for the above stock,so I am therefor reluctant to take you up on the offer,prefering to leave it sombody more needy.But as I am a charitable man I will donate to your adopted charity,if you can PM me with the information resulting in the purchase of a reasonably priced pre-war breakaction,in a reasonable condition..

Hi all, does anyone know if this will fit a Hawk MkII? If it will I'll start the bidding @ £10 posted ... .

That's blackmail

Yes!

Hi all, does anyone know if this will fit a Hawk MkII? If it will I'll start the bidding @ £10 posted ... .

Still standing by my bid for Ian's worthy cause as above here however, but can anyone advise me if it will fit my MkII please? I Kind of think it will as my first Hawk MkII being an early one had a stock very similar to this (as in Garvin's picture thread on page three I seem to remember), but would like confirmation from anyone who may know though, although as it is for charity will take it anyway if my bid wins .

Don`t think so ..... wasn`t the action longer on the MKII?

[Gareth W-B]

Don`t think so ..... wasn`t the action longer on the MKII?

Yes I thought so too but my old one was defo like this one? Or did my early Hawk MkII just have the same butt pad? The £10 is for I.J.'s charity however, so even if I just end up putting it in the loft with God alone knows what else (), unless someone offers more than my tenner, I'll let you know when I've got it .

Or, you could always threaten to burn it and play on the compassion of the BBS collectors.

Or worse, threaten to drill fresh screw holes in it and cut a deeper trench out of the wood so it'll fit an SMK B-2 action .

Hi lonewolf, well according to the rules as laid down by I.J. (our Ian) as below, as I've said in post #8 I'll take it regardless etc ...

I will send this stock, which is not split, to the first (or any ) BBS member who shows an interest in it for a donation to our charity (plus postage).

Hmmmm. Strictly speaking it should go to me, but as its for charity and if you have it it'll help get a good old collectable up and running again, better my bid of a tenner posted by a sensible amount (say you up the bid to £15 posted), and I will step back to ensure it goes to you (although Ian will have the final say me thinks ). ATB all, and have a good Bank Holiday weekend: Gareth W-B.
