zunmik; many thanks only just picked up the links will give them a look as soon as I have time. Nice little pistol, strange to cock but shoots nicely.
cheers bellringer

Record Jumbo Pistol
Hi, Happy New Year to All. I have just added a Record Jumbo Pistol to my collection, superb condition, in its styrene box c/w cardboard sleeve and cleaning brush. Sadly no pellet tin and no manual; if anyone can tell me what the pellets were and or whet the tin looked like; and if anyone has a manua...

Re: Webley pistol scope.
Hi, I have looked at my scope collection and have two W & S pistol scopes in boxes, neither has any instruction sheet enclosed, but one has a small yellow duster and the other doesn't ?. Also I have looked through my paperwork collection and can only find instructions for the 'Hunter' rifle scopes. ...

Re: posting pistols in UK
Hi just been looking at the same problem, having been told the post office no longer sends them as parcels. However I have a very good local post office and the owner went through a leaflet which is available at all post offices which explains what can and cannot be sent. It lists low powered air gu...

Re: Webley MKIII Rifle ''Smoothbores''
John M. Thanks for the added info regarding W & S MK III smoothbores, I was not aware of the export policy, so that is a little more knowledge to add to my already over loaded old brain. It is nice when another member adds a further piece of info to the jigsaw that is the history of British Gun Make...

Re: My own favorite Webley
Hi from bellringer. Your gun was actually made in the last batch of 10; week ending Saturday 11/07/1970; so this is most likely its actual day of listing [Friday at worst] there is some confusion with 'A' series MK III's because W & S actually ran two series of guns with the same prefix letter follo...

Re: I'm well made up!!!!
Nice one; I am not a pistol shooter as "first discipline" but have been shooting all sorts of pistols from full bore to air, with some seriousness for 40 yrs plus and have never hit a "possible" at any distance with any pistol, despite owning some of the top rated pistols of various era's. So don't ...

Re: My first Air Rifle
Now that's a strange co-incidence, that was also my first air gun [that I actually remember] and as I remember, sold to help fund a BSA Meteor within a few weeks of them first going on sale mid 50's; I managed to get another Mod 15 a couple of years ago, and it is still fun to shoot, don't you think...

Re: Scottish Airgun Legislation
How about this as a "beat them at their own game" solution. Pass the word around as many of your gun owning friends as possible even just two or three people, and form a "club"; then enter? some competitions amongst other affected owners. Three people could possibly form three clubs? This surely mea...

Re: Webley MKIII Rifle ''Smoothbores''
Using the ''Gas Tap'' type of loading method on the MkIII and with its small diameter, darts would not be usable, same with BSA's. I never thought to ask when I had contact with friends in the gun trade in the 70's and I can only assume BB's would be the ammunition, just can't figure out why smooth ...

Re: Bell Target Target
Nicely done, there are several versions of ''bell target'' paper variants but usually only one diagram per page or just the bull and one scoring ring; this is a superb effort and will be most welcome by lots of us. Thanks. bellringer

Webley MKIII Rifle ''Smoothbores''
As a few members know I own a copy of a ''day - book'' made up by the MkIII section of W & S listing all production from No 44370 to end of production. The book is in 'Biro' and was very much damaged by oil ingestion over the years and must have been deteriorating from day one, however I did photoco...

Re: Hello from Wolverhampton
Hi thanks for the reply, I am often on the 6yd range with a Pardini P10 pistol or a Tesro rifle, these are my "comp" guns; but I also bring another target gun along just to give them an airing on a rotational basis. Would love to meet you and your good lady. ATB bellringer

Re: wishlists : pistols we are looking for or aspire to own
Nice thread this, I think we will get some very interesting posts as people bare their soles rather than their bank balances; I have to admit I have been very lucky in my ownership of wishlist pistols, but I still have a hankering for a FWB 103; also if a lottery win happened I would like one of the...
