huey Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have just read on the Sporting Gun web site that Webley Limited went into administration 31st Dec 2008. They have subsequently been bought up by the newly formed Webley International. What a shame that a bloody good British firm has ended up in such a bad way. Whats your thoughts?

Guest topshot_2k Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Webley or Webley & Scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest topshot_2k Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Their guns are poop. Can't polish a **** and all that. I hope their air guns are not included in that statement? as Raider is far from ****. Also the semi auto they make is a lot better than others such as the Escort etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Their guns are poop. Can't polish a **** and all that. Sorry, but that is the exact phrase that came to my mind before I even read Munglers comment. Webley used to be some of the best guns around, and were bought by people who cared about the kit they used. Those fussy people are still around now, but they don't shoot Webleys any more because they still care about the quality of the kit they shoot and buy something else!

Fuji Shooter Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Also the semi auto they make is a lot better than others such as the Escort etc Is it not built for them by Hatsan and then rebadged and reboxed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweedledee Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 thats what they get for selling poorer quality guns. webley used to make their own stuff.reckon they would get smart and get them built cheaper abroad.sadly they just are`nt built as well as they would be at home.
