mattslaptop247 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi lads, just bought a greener gp of wabbitbosher, cracking gun. can anyone date it? I know you can buy a book but its about £45 or you can get greeners to do it for £25. Just wondered if anyone on here was in the know? Its serial no. is 036854 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm pretty sure Greener will date it for you at cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Surely someone on here has got that book I agree £25 is a bit steep for a date maybe is you just asked for the date only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest topshot_2k Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Does yours have a safety catch? yes on the side of the action, 16bore too , all GP's made by Greener (before the webley takeover in the 1970's) are MK1. Does yours not have a safety catch? Some useful diagrams/info if anyone wants it: http://www.martinihenry.com/policeguns.htm Edited September 11, 2009 by topshot_2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a round button instead of a safety lever, but it can't be pushed in at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the line in the original document ‘don’t disassemble unless really necessary ‘ like we’re going to do that! Thanks for posting just noticed the date! Missed that one earlier Edited April 27, 2019 by impala59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
