The Lowest Ebb of Webley

[look no hands]

The last new air rifles I’ve bought most recently are (latest first) FX DRS, 3 Weihrauch 125 anniversary editions, an SMK XS19 Custom (when PellPax had them for £60 about a year ago), but just but prior to that… a Prosport .177 Walnut, TX200 HC .22 Walnut, S510 .177 Walnut - when I had an AA blitz. All over the space of about 3 or 4 years.

So Johnny Foreigner just about takes that 5:3 for my most recent new guns.

(There was also a tuned .22 Prosport from off here after the other AAs, but being S/H that one doesn’t count).

Good on you for buying British as well, I've only ever bought six new rifles, a mk1 Lightning, the first of the Lightning XL's, a TX200hc, an SFS tuned Longbow, Cometa 400 and Karen's HW30S, my second hand collection though is mainly 80/90's BSA's and the last of what Webley produced and a Tracker, I am a advocate for buying British, if it's possible, especially in this world of Chinese consumer products but if I know I can buy a British made quality item, then I will (just bought better British made plane blades for my old Stanley planes), I feel we should be buying British, to support our businesses but I understand why people buy elsewhere, the embarrassing quality of BSA's now and the expense of Air Arms, aren't helping, that's what gets my goat, I recently moved up to Telford and we are a stones throw from Ironbridge, the amount of old industrial buildings around that are either empty or are being used for something else saddens me, when you think what we used to design and build and our industry was the best in the world, we hardly have anything now and all our top companies are owned by other foreign consortiums, it's a shame.
