    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    This significant detail is unlikely to deter most of the Webley-infatuated constituency. It is their habit to fire from the hip in the manner of a mobster criminal loosing off a drum of ammunition from his 'Chicago pianoforte', complete with inane grin and slaverous giggling.

    A peep-sight - or more correctly orthoptic diopter sight - or indeed any sights at all are irrelevant to such a style of musketry.

    Good luck to them, and all who eschew the BSA Airsporter (with self-opening tap). The Service does not even have a fore-end stock but the rifleman must manage with the naked cold steel cylinder in his palm. As appealing as a sleeping with bald-pated wife on a bed of thistles.
