I have to tell you Robert, the Webley is special + even if I can't hit the side of the barn at 25 mtrs with it :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I have managed to track down someone who has some sights for the Vickers.
He is going to send me a selection after Christmas and all I have to do is select what I want and return the other ones with my payment.
That is what I CALL Customer Service :) :) :) :)

Well here are the pieces that are on offer.

Think I will buy the central rear sight and top left 6-hole with an integral large cup threaded to take a lens.

It took him a while to send them. Better late than never I suppose. :bigsmile:

Not yet sent Robert, that's just asking me which ones I want.
Going to cost me $150 / £117 + postage but it makes the rifle whole again which pleases me no end.

At long last the sight's arrived. They are slight loose fit but that can be sorted with some shims.

The eye piece needs cleaning up a bit too :roll: :roll:

Just the thing for the rabbits in the "garden" that you've been talking about I'd think. :bigsmile:
