83 Ric Info

[david doyle]

Thought I would scan and post this page from a Webley Book. It recounts the accuracy potential of a 2.5inch 83 RIC in 450.

I thought I had all the good Webley books. Wrong again!
C'mon David, tell us the name of this one. Please.

Hi Rodagra:

It is a short 31 page concise book called:

WEBLEY 1790-1953 a history of pistols and other weapons.

PM me your addy and I'll make a copy of it for you.

The best part is the copy of the "apprenticeship Aggreement" that Phillip webley had his workers sign. 13 hours a day, 6 days a week, no card playing, smoking, alehouses or women ! Also no trading and no getting sick for SEVEN years! LOL. No wonder we can't make comparabley wonderful revovlers now adays!

Thanks David,
A most generous offer. I'm trying to hatch a plot to get even.
