You made a good choice Ben - Webley were always the best air guns.

They seemed to be pretty popular.  It was the vintage looks that really attracted me to it.  It certainly seems very well made.

Superb choice :). Of my four airguns, three are Webleys (2 rifles and a pistol). They seem to have more character than other brands :) They switched production from Birmingham to overseas a little while back and, from what I've read aren't really the same thing at all so second hand is the only way to go.

Not unless it's solid gold or lightsabre, $700 is way too much for a piece of steel bar and some plastic, which I bet won't work any better than a $200 fallkniven, or a $70 becker.

When we were away down the coast last week , I found myself in a camping/bike/gun store. They also had a nice collection of obscenely priced MT's , saw my first ever Switchplier for sale in OZ for $180aus :o :o. I thought I would ask about air rifles , last time I looked on the net for local air guns they all seemed to be well over $1000.I think I managed to only find those air rifles they use in sporting competitions. So when the shop guy said $220 for a plinker & $350 for a hunting gun , I did a little dance on the inside. Both of the guns were Gamo brand , so if my Chrysler goes I am gettin one. Misses not loving the idea though  ::) :D :D :D

Man I want a high powered air rifle to get rid of the friggin ground hogs and skunks that are eating my garden/digging up my yard, and perhaps the cats that's crapping all over the place as well. My current crosman POS doesn't even dent them, I nail them and they come back two days later.

Sucks in canada I need to go through all the firearm license stuff to buy an air rifle, and then they are >$500 for a decent one.

It's a Beeman P17. It was about £70 I think, I can't remember for sure, but it seems to be one of the best of the cheapies looking at the reviews on the net.

Looking at on of my airgun books your pistol appears to be a post World War 2 model as it has 'Webley' on the grips and  knurling on the barrel - Seniors where made between 1935 and 1964. The bopk also says that they are 'judged to be the best of the pre-WWII Webley air pistols' :tu:.

After a bit of research, it turns out that mine is one of the earlier post war Seniors as it has "Birmingham 4" on it.  That dates it late 40's early 50's I believe.

What book are you looking in mate?

Robert Beeman's Blue Book of Airguns:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Book-Airguns-Beeman-Robert/dp/1886768773/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240777998&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Book-Airguns-Beeman-Robert/dp/1886768773/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240777998&sr=8-1)

This one is supposed to be very good - if you can find a copy:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Webley-Air-Pistols-History-Development/dp/0709066198/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240778261&sr=1-1 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Webley-Air-Pistols-History-Development/dp/0709066198/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240778261&sr=1-1)

Pfft. Mine was made in 1997, probably in China.  :P

The Chinese airguns are not bad these days, especially their higher end ones. Don't get me started on the Turkish made Webley springers though.  >:(

I've seen some of the higher end SMK stuff and it's really not too bad, especially for the price :)

very similar to your pistol  Dave ,could be a bit smaller..

I really miss shooting at things. Not sure living next to a Mosque near the city centre is a good place to wave my air pistol around though!

I used things like 2 litre plastic bottles as targets, then the pellets would go in but not come out again which meant I could use them again :)

Reading into guns etc, it is interesting to see all the different areas of legislation that affects certain areas of ownership etc (airsoft for example).  I never knew there was so much to know.
