Mk1 webley photos

A place to discuss all things Webley. As this is probably the most collected airgun maker we felt it deserved a section of its own.

Thanks Brian what would you suggest using to clean it up a bit I obviously don't want to be too aggressive but would love to get the metalwork looking a bit fresher. Also should I just leave the grips alone?

I would agree with Brian. Find yourself some 0000 steel wool and just gently wipe the gun over with some Ballistol. Don't worry if you are too cautious - you can do it again - if you are too aggresive it is hard to go back.

I would unscrew the grips and use the same 0000 wire wool with some White Spirit to gently wash away some of the grime and then polish them up with a little Briwax or similar.

I’m going off to go find myself. If I’m not back by the time I return, keep me here.
