    So you want a Birmingham-made walnut Webley Longbow, except you want to buy it in return for testicles?

    He may become too can't be arsed to use his new gun with his nuts off, wonder if he considered that when he decided to use them as currency.

    Oddly enough, the longbow seems to have sort of passed me by. The introduction of the HW80 seemed to outshine any previous rifle and the idea of rifles never really attracted me until the TX200 came along. Maybe I do need a Brummie longbow.

    It was only made from 2002-5, when almost everyone was into PCPs, so easy to miss.

    If Webley had not gone bust in 2005, I'd wager it would still be in production, and popular.

    You've got to admit the Webley Venom Sidewinder compact was a thing of beauty and probably shot sublime, I had a SFS tuned Longbow and that was lovely but like we all do, I sold it on for the next attraction.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
