paddymax123 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 hi here guys looking for some advice here as I have a webly and scott .410 that I bought a year or two back. the thing is I cannot find the same gun for sale anywhere else at all in either shops or online. so my question is does anyone know anything about a w and s .410 bolt action which you can not use the bolt to apply the safely catch as this model has none, the serial number on it is 119. the closest I have found is the type with a safety catch and the lowest serial number on that has been 1105. so does anyone have the same gun as me? thanks guys all comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I've had a couple and from what I remember you pull the rim shaped bit of the bolt back and twist it a bit and a peg on the bolt engages with a recess in the bolt body thus stopping the hammer part and the firing pin going forward in the bolt. A picture of your bolt might help. Ps. It must have a safety. Highly dangerous if it doesn't. you'd have to bolt it up when you wanted to shoot.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Must be the BUDGET version that comes without the safety catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 "Nope" Are you sure it's a W&S? Is it stamped into the barrel or action? Pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 They don't normally have a catch as such, if you look at the back of the bolt assembly there is a round ***, pull it back and twist it clockwise about 45-90 degrees. I've seen loads as I was tracking down spares and every single bolt action .410 I've seen/owned weather it be w&s, anschutz or any other make has always had the same type of safety.

Longbower Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Early W&S .410. did not have the twist safety on the back, Later ones did, the 3 shot "Sportsman" has a safety "tang" on the side of the mechanism that applies itself to the safe position every time the bolt is actuated. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
