Good deal ! How does it shoot and I imagine it uses a leather piston seal ?

It's a Haenel V/ Webley Mk3 copy which basically copied the various 1906-39 BSA and Lincoln Jeffries actions. Webley dragged it out into 1975. A 1919-29 BSA secondary sear even fits the Webley as a replacement part. Webley put the tap lever on the wrong (right ) side for an unknown reason. Makes you have to swap hands to load it. Why?
The peep sight is a copy of the Mk3 Supertarget sight. Not really a target rifle, no trigger adjustment. Even though prewar BSA's had adjustment except 1919-23 models.
