    Cheers, didnt fancy sending it off with the wrong input on the form..

    I've just been looking through the application form for my FAC , as im going for FAC AIR, it mentions nothing about calibre or silencers and how many pellets/slugs i can stock, im assuming with it being pellet or slug then limits are endless I assume (I may be wrong) ,do I have to put a specific calibre down and cannot find anywhere to put down for a silencer either on the form, or do I put this down in the blank page for Xtra info...

    Best way fella is to get out knocking on doors as mentioned above, thats how 99%of us have had to get ours, just prepare for a lot of knockbacks...

      Hi Phil

      That's a modified Webley Mk1, The barrel release latch on top looks to have been repaired/modified and the steel buttplate is missing otherwise it looks fine!!

      Here's mine, They're quite small compared with the later Mk2 Service rifle! ?

      There were only 1,500 made, Around the first 500 had the info done by acid etching, Webley found out quite sharpish that the etching wore away rather quickly so after around the 500th gun, They started stamping in the info!

       

      The barrel release latch on mine is just flat on the top!

      Hi Derv

      I'm not too sure, Never chrono'd mine but at a guess i'd say slightly less than 6ft lbs!

      Phill, Having looked at the pics again, It's in a very poor condition, The stock has been repaired with pine rather than walnut, I'm not sure what they did with the barrel latch and the whole lot would need polishing deeply to get rid of the pitting for reblueing, Also, I think the safety catch in non original ☹️

      I'd hazard a guess at £150, I saw two rough ones go for £600 but the stocks were in good condition and they would have both not taken much prepping for a reblue ?

    Nice shooting bud ?
  25. Phill-W68
