bruno22rf Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 IMHO there is very little difference in the quality between the Turk or the Brit-both as bad as each other.I cannot think of a decent gun that Webley have produced for many years.Do yourself a favour and try other guns before parting with your money.Sorry to be so negative but I know that you can buy far better guns for the money.

Hey, my webley raider has a sticker inbedded in the gun saying webley radier made in birmingham uk, very good gun super light wait no noise never had no problems Isn't that always the way on forums. Gun choice is very individual just the same, but questions still need to be asked about the UK gun industry, after all Webley - Turkey, BSA - Spain! Even a lot of Air Arms is outsourced or even made abroad now, and on it goes...... Edited June 25, 2011 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
