Thank you for posting these pics!

I'm not familiar with conversion units - Could you show them mounted on a Webley? If that is not possible, could you describe how they mount?

The units mount by removing the cylinder and simply inserting the conversion barrel into the pistol barrel.
The single shot unit is retained by the pistols cam lever. The six shot conversion units barrel is ratained by the threaded muzzle nut and the cylinder is reained by the cam level.
I know I have not explained this very well, but hope the pictures help.
Thanks

Ed -

Thanks for the explanation! I had wondered how the little 'clamp' on the 22 barrel worked; I'm guessing it acts as a spacer/stop for the 22 cylinder...

Interesting...Is the 22 barrel offset to allow the hammer to strike the rim of the 22's???
