Did WBPS do a synthetic piston seal conversion? I can't remember if I ever knew, but the timing (1984-85) suggests they must have done. They were very impressive at the time.

I recall getting a tiny bit of counter-battery fire on here the last time I mentioned the shearing stock mounts. Pleased I'm not the only one to have encountered that.

I also recall some debate on here at some point on whether the internals were up to Anschutz/FWB standards, the sense being that, roughly, despite the brand name, barrel, finish, etc, the unseen bits were more like those in a Webley Vulcan or BSA Mercury rather than Olympic match quality in a springer format (e.g. FWB Sport).
