Edward Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Now I have finally made my mind up on what my latest piece is going to be, so not a .22lr or an air pistol I have dicided upon the good ole W&S B/A .410. First of all whats the max range of a .410 with 2 1/2 cart??? Whats the best/cheapest cart?? Is there anything to check for when buying a Webley bolt action??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all whats the max range of a .410 with 2 1/2 cart??? Whats the best/cheapest cart?? Is there anything to check for when buying a Webley bolt action??? Thanks I've had a couple of these little guns. Very simple, but will last for ages! Also, they suit smaller frames so are ideal for ladies or kids having a go at clays etc. Just make sure it actually fires (Try it if you can) Take out the bolt and make sure it isn't loose or wobbly. Max range is usually about 20-30 yards. Any more than that, and there just aren't enough pellets in 11 grams to do the job properly. I got rid of mine simply because of the limits a 2 1/2" chamber brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Well I just got it today. the stocks a wee bit tatty, but that doesnt matter. What really bugs me that I noticd when I got home that all the screws are 'manked' up because someone has used a normal scredriver. and the rear screw that holds hte barrel down is actually a noremal 4x1 wood screw with the head ground down Can you get replacement screws??? I had a look on chambers with no succes. Other than that its brilliant What choke do they tend to be???

humperdingle Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Almost without exception, full choke unless it's been eased at some point. Bad news about the screws. You might find if you ask your local gunshops, they may have odd screws lying around. The hole has probably been widened to such an extent now that it wouldn't accept an original Webley screw anyhow. Get some nitromors and strip and sand back the stock and give it an oil finish. I did mine and it came out very well. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?
