    I've seen one mentioned previously on this site, and have a feeling Mick's Guns had one advertised a while ago, but don't know any more about it's history.

    That was the proposed Sterling Arms stainless steel version of the Mk.2 Service which did not make it into production.

    Thanks everyone for the comments .I must assume that webley never did a chrome or nickel finish on the service rifle and probably after market job in stead of bluing ?

    Don't put yourself down mate. You've taught me a thing or two about Webley Services.

    Kind regards,

    That article was in the May 2018 issue of Airgun World. We had examined the prototype repro Service the previous February at the National Shooting Show.
