    Webley would cobble anything up that could be knocked out as a rifle (from now passed Webley employee)
    It's why these threads about what does or doesn't exist are pointless _

    They designed a breach on one rife, I can't remember which one now Longbow maybe, on the thousands of spare breach o rings they had - that was the mentality !
    It could have been improved, but they just though nah, we got all these seals to use up

    While HW were trying to cnc stuff with no error margin, Webley were hand grinding down barrel ends for for fore sights - it's why moderators just won't line up on the odd Vulcan etc where the grind was off

    It was hardly the Mecca of modern air gunning people seem to want to remember through rose tinted glasses !
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

    Hmm. Not sure how the breech design is dictated solely by the o-ring. Anyway, nothing wrong with using the same thing (trigger guards come to mind) for a few decades...

    It's clear at least that some Stingrays had walnut stocks with chequering and some walnut stocks without chequering. What are these without chequering currently worth would anyone hazard a guess?

    Your Stingray looks to have the Webley Venom custom shop flat ended mod fitted, you don't see many of them about

    Value probably twice that of what the shop price originally was.

    With a Craig-p Venom style cut checkering, that really would confuse people

    A Webley factory walnut stock would never have been finished with varnish, checkered or not. If it did indeed have varnish on it originally, it’s a beech stock.

    Cheers
