    Mine also has the port for a gauge, but no hole in the stock. Could be you have a Webley FX2000 stock on yours.

    Many years ago I bought an Excalibre stock from a BBS member and had to drill out a hole for the gauge before I fitted the stock to an FX2000.
    I managed to find a hole cutter exactly the right size, but measured several times before drilling the pilot hole in exactly the right place.

    I can't comment on the available shot count, I only use mine for hunting and it gets topped up after each outing. Very accurate and reliable guns.

    One thing to watch out for, assuming yours is the same as mine? The magazine retaining pin is not sprung, and if the gun is being carried muzzle down, the pin can fall forward, and when the bolt handle is operated, or left in the rearward position for safety, the magazine can drop out without you noticing. I lost two this way before making a spring retention system for it, and have never lost a mag since.
