chrismpullbang Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Let me give you the full story. I was at Mid Wales at the weekend with school on an Outdoor Pursuits trip with Mike Beal. i went into the shop to see about having them put a cheek-easy on the stock as the comb was rather low for me and as Jonathan was putting a temporary comb raiser on with some tape he had some left on his finger as he put the gun to his shoulder and where the wood on the stock meets the action and trigger group a piece about 1cm sq came off on his fingers. The inside of the wood was so dry and brittle it was untrue! Needless to say the gun is on its was back to DAI to see what they can do about it considering that I have only had the gun for just under 2 months from new!!! B) Another thing that i had found was that it started having trouble cycling 28gram carts after i had been shooting 24g fibres so I took it home and behind the bolt was a load of unburnt powder which was stopping the bolt moving back as fast. Anyone else had with of these problems, I heard from Jonathan that of the 350 that litts bought from Webley they ended up having to sent 212 back for one reason or another:huh: something going on there:huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markbivvy Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 The new 810W and 820W walnut stocked semi automatics have been fully inspected, tested, proofed in Birmingham and are ready for sale. Not only are they performing perfectly but the highly select walnut stock is simply breathtaking. Above and below- New 810W being tested The wood is of such quality that it would not look out of place on a shotgun costing 10 times the £549 price of the 810/820W. Check it out at your local dealer, you won’t be disappointed.

I've heard previously that although they look good on paper that the built quality it lacking. Maybe you should have gone with an escort!?!
