Now that's the way to shoot. Makes up for the Webley.

Re: VICKERS Mk: 1
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

You can't fix Stupid, but you can occasionally head it off before it hurts something.

Re: VICKERS Mk: 1
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

Re: VICKERS Mk: 1
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.

Re: VICKERS Mk: 1
It took him a while to send them. Better late than never I suppose.

Re: VICKERS Mk: 1
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.

Re: VICKERS Mk: 1
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

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