Mk 11 Target
Posted: Wed May 18, 2016 12:19 am
Five Webleys arrived in the post this week, almost too many to absorb so I thought I would show them off one by one by age
First up theTarget Mk11
Not much condition left
But a clean using a brass wool pad plus oil (never use steel wool, the cleaning pad must be softer than the metal being cleaned) made an improvement
It was advertised as having a serial of 68847 but is actually 36847 and consequently does not have the rear breech screw, it will always be one of life little mysteries why Webley didn't stick with this system of closure
