Sep 24, 2015 My first series Webley Mk.3 air rifle serial number 31, manufactured in 1947: The first Mk3's featured what Webley termed a 'double pull' trigger - actually a two stage mechanism that to be honest was well ahead of its time and is the equal of more modern triggers. Such a pity they dropped it in favour of a simpler single stage mechanism.
