I've always thought the Webley rifles, especially the Mk 2, looked like the result of a bunch of hardcore old-school machinists, all in a room together trying to out-do each other! Compared to the elegant BSA underlevers of the day they have a "designed by committee" look to 'em, but up close the details are astonishing.
It sounds like you've been talking to 45flint, that's almost a direct quote of his.
I like my Mk I, but I absolutely love my MK IIs.
