Yes you may be right?, i'll leave it a few days on this thread before I advertise it for swap in case any one on CAPA is interested, i'm looking for a multi shot "fun" pellet pistol, but not cp88's or smith's i'm not impressed with those two, M. :)

When I offload it I shall offer it for swap, one thing I lack now is a fun gun multi shot like a Colt 1911 (umarex) for instance we'll see i'll have a think about it, :think: , M. :)
Just adding a link to the picture of my latest 6M which is the reason i'm going to swap the plastic gripped 6M with both left & right handed grips, M.

Been giving the fun pistol a bit of thought, and I would also consider a spring pistol such as a magnum 240, hw45, or other powerfull pistol as a fun gun for swap, deal, exchange, or w h y, M. :think: :? :)

I have always thought the HW45 to be over rated, and I do not enjoy shooting them.

The 240 is the rarer gun, and a better one to own, if one were available. A bit ugly, but a definite collectors item of future.

Gad Sir, the BSA 240 Magnum "ugly" never, its a super designed pistol, punchy, accurate, and looks great unlike those "Wobbly" pistols!, made out of an old bit of bike frame with a barrel held on with a bit of bent nail ;) , yeah I think the 240's great basically I just want a fun gun, co2 or spring as I've got plenty of target pistols, i'll advertise more widely next week with fresh pics in its ali box with the extra grips for lefties, M. :lol:

It might be worth getting a Crosman 2240, then adding custom parts to turn it into a .177

Should keep you busy tweaking it to your requirements!?

Good idea, but I did that just over a year ago cost me a fortune in custom parts I went for stainless as I don't like brass much I did enjoy it & bought it up to the 2300 std with a .177 barrel, but don't feel like repeating it, atb, M. :)

I thought all of those old things had been melted down as scrap and if the metal was of a better grade it may have been fit to be reclaimed and used for one of the less important parts of those magnificent Webley spring powered air pistols - something like a pellet tin maybe :lol:

Although not a "proper" Gentlemans air pistol like one of those very fine Webley air pistols you love to envy so much I do have an almost new HW 45 Silver Star still sat in its box doing nothing at this moment - and it is a .177

Maybe the Original Model 6 is almost as good as one of those finely engineered Webley pistols so I may consider parting with my Silver Star if you would be interested and not try to pursued me to part with a Webley instead. :naughty:

Sir you may be assured I would never seek one your wobblies :) , an hw45 I admit can be considered as a pistol which is somewhat worthy, and of interest M. :D

OK - as long as you really promise not to try and buy any of my Webleys :naughty: you may like to take a look at the picture link to my HW54 Silver Star.

Do you have any similar shots of your Model 6M for me to see by any chance ?

I have a really nice Model 5 and your Model 6M would make a nice companion from a similar age.........you see I don't only collect and shoot Webley air pistols - I am very fond of the Diana/Original Models 5, 6 and 10 and have been lucky enough to own and shoot them all at different times since the early seventies :o
