pingugriff Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I have recently got myself an old Webley Hawk, possibly a mk 1. I was hoping someone could give me some info on it. Thanks in advance. Edited January 21, 2014 by pingugriff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I had a mk2, my second air rifle when I was a kid. It had an interchangable barrel. Think they only about 10.5ft/lb. They were prone to the barrel being bent up! They were so easy to cock folk left their finger on the trigger and would trip the sear before it was closed up and whip the barrel up and set a bend in it! U.

pingugriff Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Cheers Underdog, it only has the .22 barrel with it. No rear or foresight. there is no noticeable bend in the barrel but I have yet to fire something through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingugriff Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Does anybody know if this rifle is worth my while getting it restored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jega Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Shouldnt be too difficult to restore yourself bud ,pretty much all the parts you'll need are readily available from here and if they are not shown just give them a ring they are renowned for brilliant service Good Luck. https://www.gunspares.co.uk/categories/24064/Webley/ Edited January 26, 2014 by Jega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingugriff Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Cheers Jega, I don't think I need any parts as it is still in working order. the .22 barrel I have for it has rusted and needs bluing. The stock seems to be in good order too. Would love to get my hands on the .177 barrel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've got a mk 2 with .22 and .177 barrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingugriff Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Big Mat are they compatible with the Mk1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Couldnt tell you, i suspect not. I've only shot the one i own a handful of times, it needs taking apart and rebuilding, it was a bag of bits when i got it. Might get it done this year and have it reblued.

pingugriff Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I am thinking about taking mine to get done but as yet I'm unsure if it would be worth my while. No idea what mine is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital Bee Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 The Mk1 and Mk2 Have different methods of locking the barrel into the breech block I believe. I did one of these up as a first full rebuild project. I would advise you check the condition of the hole that runs through the back block, as they can elongate and then it's not worth rebuilding. I rebuilt mine with a spring guide and replacement spring from Chambers and I flattened off the back block to locate the spring guide. It shot nicely, but I sold it on as it wasn't being used.

Livefast123 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I restored a 60's Webley Falcon a few months ago and there's nothing like plinking with a vintage springer, especially using it to teach your children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
