God Save the Queen!

And you know, you'd make a great gun toting preacher, all you'd need is the black get up and change the pith helmet out for a bible.

Mad dogs and englishmen.... Pip Pip and all that, eh wot.

Dude i have always wondered what England was like!

Well hopefully its not so hot and humid as it is down here in Houston Texas

Your head dont look so big.

That's 'cause the rest of him's huge too.

It still scares me that they give anyone that looks as insane as you firearms.

its not that they give them to him.. they just havent managed to take them all away, yet.

LOL!

My thoughts exactly. Britannia used to be a grand ol place. Now it seem content to circle the drain under the watchful eye of Big Brother and the Greater Good Symphony.

.455 Webley or converted to .45 ACP and moon clips?

Nice Webley. I'd like to get one of those, but I'm a bit worried of the latch failures. It'd be nice if someone made a stronger latch for them so that the .45ACP conversions were a bit safer, but I guess we can't win 'em all.

A .455 Webley converted to .45 ACP was my first center fire gun. I put thousands of cast bullet full power handloads through it without any problems. The pressure on the head of the cartridge case pushes directly back on the frame. It is only bullet drag in the bore (far smaller, especially with well lubricated cast bullets) that stresses the latch.

That's a good idea. A well lubricated bullet and no copper jacket and it'll ease pressure on the latch. Most of the .455 rounds, if I recall correctly, were cast conical bullets.

I used a 50/50 mixture of Alox (a hydrocarbon grease with anti-rust and extreme pressure additives) and beeswax as bullet lube. With the M1 carbine, I shot 115 grain cast linotype alloy semi-wadcutter bullets (with copper gaschecks on their bases) without leaving any lead in the bore. Much to my surprise, they could punch through 3/16" mild steel!

You look quite distinguished, olde chap!

You look more English than a lot of the English people I know! :3

Our forefathers Salute you!

Then shoot you!

Thudder me puttees and sola me topee!

I know how it is with hats; I need at least a 7 7/8 (63 cm) but an 8 is more comfortable.

is that a webley revolver? where did the mauser came from?

It depresses me that you can look more english than we. The glorious days of the empire will be missed when red coats, pith helmets and Webleys were marks of a gentleman of rank.

Dr. Karno I presume?

Modern day england sucks i agree. We need the old days of running the world and the oceans and doing a damned fine job of it back.

Too funny!

Heh, I just noticed that you look exactly like my British uncle, though I've never seen him smiling in any way.

He obviously needs a pith helmet and a Webley, too.

That's right but I'm afraid that he'd raise an eyebrow at me if I tried that kind of joke.

We were all settled in for tea and biccies when Mum told us we were right out of them. We settled for a pint and a few strumpets at the corner pub....

You look like Panama Jack went insane. :D

I sympathize on the hat issue. Same problem here.

Who let that man have a gun?

Bloody heck...

D.O.P.R

I say jeeves, pass me the regimental Webley. It apeares we have guests of the mau mau variety.

...Are you friends with this guy, by any chance?

this reminds me of what it meant to be english back in the times of mid 1800 and early 1900.

nowadays england is a shadow of its former self

illegal immigrants coming in at every turn.
above mentioned taking all our spare jobs.
yobs that would stab your grandmother for 25 pence.
and a prime minister who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewary let alone run a small country.

i can't stand living in my own homeland.

luckily there are a few escapes from it all

the quaint countryside.
a few safe places where you can have a drink with your friends without having your teeth smashed down your throat.
and a one way ticket to another country while sticking your arse against the passinger window to say farewell in style.

i want the old days i used to read about to return to us.
