Webley Omega and Vulcan.

[R. P. McMurphy]

Just a quick post to say I nipped into DAI yesty to get some pellets,only there for five minutes but I spied an Omega and a Vulcan in the secondhand rail.Dident get to have a look at what shape they were in but I was told the Omega was a .177. Since Ive learnt how some of you folks rate the Omega so highly I thought I'd mention it

Good heads-up there for someone, cheers matey -- as in my and many others opinion, the Webley Omega was/is the best rifle Webley ever produced -- and in .177 is a rare beast to find for sure (and the Vulcan is a classic in it's own right too ): Gareth W-B.

I just figured that someone may be interested Gareth mate,I allso figure that if any of us see anything interesting in a gun shop that may be of interest to other BBS'ers then we ought to make a post givin the details ect! Help each other out type of thing.

I am having an on-going love affair with my FWB Sport at the moment, so may well give you that in the FWB instance, but only until the wind changes . Ha ha. Atb (again): Gareth W-B.

That's brilliant matey. Couldn't've ended up in a better collection (except maybe mine ). Nice one Ian, and to answer mallyally's query regarding contraception ... Yep, I use a fool-proof system: a photo of an SMK B2, as that is enough to make even the stiffest of breech seals droop . Ha ha ha and welcome all to another fun-packed week in the BBS collector's corner . Atb: Gareth W-B.
