jon0881 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I doubt this guy will have a crono to prove it. unless you get a report when you pay to have it done. It is seccond hand and i wont be using it much, so i didnt want anything flash. I think it comes with a simmons scope too so that will be getting put on my CZ452 and the unknown scope will come off. Apart from testing it on a target, is there anything else i should check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Webley Vulcan was a useful springer in it's day although IMO not as good as the HW 35 & 80 it was up against check the stock securing screws at the fore end as these had a habit of shearing or coming loose spares readily available through Chambers Gunmakers cheers TP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul in North Lincs. Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 all irelevant. the guy has now sold it......gutted For future reference though matey check the following when looking tio accquire a used gun - barrel...is it staright...should n't have any dints in it or pitting in the chamber - make sure when cocking that the action is smooth...no gritty'ness clanking or strange noises that could indicate a problem with the spring - check the exterior screw heads for signs of knarling.............if they are knarled and chewed..this could indicate that the gun has been taken to bits several times......more often thatn not... for a repair - make sure there are no cracks on the stock.............a gun with no anti-bear trap that has been fired in the cocked position will undoubtedly have a bent barrel......cracking to the stock indictaes this.............even though the bend will not be visible to the naked eye.....you will never get it zeroed!

jon0881 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Cheers for the advice paul Just before i got back into shooting i threw a BSA Meter in the bin becuase it had something rattling arround where the spring is. I with i'd thought on and had it repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon0881 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Change of plan! I found a chap selling a .22 vulcan and have bought it! 11.2 on the chrono so it should be enough for a few rats, pigeon and bunnies. Does anyone have a manual?
