Some Britannia Air Rifle Stats

[John M]

Very similar in rarity to the Webley MkI then John?

Yes, I guess they are.

Just to check do you have 1154 & 1032 on your list?

Cheers,

Hi Matt,

I have 1032 and 1153 but not 1154.

Can you tell me the calibre, sight type and whether it is an ASS (I'm starting to wish I had not used that acronym!) or standard Britannia? It should also have the standard rather than longer barrel.

Sorry mate that was a typo, it was meant to be 1153 and you already have that one.


I don’t know if it’s of use but I took some bolt measurements for someone once which may be of interest:







The large bolt is unusual because these days you can’t get a bolt or dye that big with a thread that fine.

I’m no expert though.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi John,

My Britannia's serial number is 2324 - I'm not sure if you have the number.

Thanks Matt!

There are a couple of consecutive numbers recorded, so not unheard of.

Does anyone have a drawing or decent photo of the trigger adjuster screw spring retainer?

I need to try and make one.

Mine was broken, so I used a short coil spring but would like to go full authentic!
