The first Webley Rifle

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.

The first Webley Rifle

Unsure as to whether or not I should comply with the Webley afficionado's private "Special Place" I decided to throw caution to the wind and put this here:-)
I saw this on one of the other forums I frequent and I asked the poster there 'JohnBaz' if he wouldn't mind me posting the pictures here, an interesting rifle indeed, for your pleasure:

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

Oh now, we can't have one of the things in the cupboard with its label facing the wrong way now can we!

Basically a big pistol with a rifle stock. Interesting gun though, and a consistent user of a proven technology.

BSA did the opposite with the Scorpion, they put a forklift in a pistol grip! :lol:

Webley MK 1 Air Rifles are getting very difficult to find under the £1000 mark. My local dealer has a nice example for sale at a whopping £2,400. I keep telling them it will never sell at that price swiftly followed by a more realistic offer. Apparently they bought it as part of a collection at not much below the current price more as a showpiece among their more modern pieces than a serious seller.

Regards

Brian
