Fatcatsplat Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Damned if i remember who told me this and please take it with a pinch of salt as i am generally an ignorant moron on these subjects, but with these new Webleys i was told (by a gunsmith) to avoid like the plague - Outwardly very attractive, but with a very cheap action and internal parts - Repairers seem to make a very good living out of them. That's only (educated - at least from the gunsmith's point of view!) hearsay. Maybe one of the chaps on here has one and can comment with more authority.

Mattw Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 thanks the price they are asking for it ,i thought it would be a good bit of kit but if they are unreliable then i will get something reliable,any sugestions It all depends on your budget, and how important it is to you to get a new gun... perhaps the bettinsolli's are a similar price, between 550 and 600 for a new one, and then come with a nice set of accessories.

Tobyb525 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Don't know about o/u but I was told by my dealer who was told direct from webly that hatsan and webly semis are made in different factories but I don't know if the designs the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight32 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 The webley wildfowler S/A are made in the same factory as the escort under licence. Now this is a new one.... Most webley owners buy it, try it, bin it and then buy a Hatsan escort as they want to keep the budget to under £300. It then leaves them enough money to buy their trademark suzuki jimny 4x4 to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 The Webley & Scott recent guns are Turkish but not Hatsans. http://www.akkar.com.tr/eng/anasayfa.asp So far (<1,000 cartridges), so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wriggler Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have a 912. It puts the shot where I want it and so far I have had no major problems with it, the only niggle I have is the barrel release doesn't always click into position so I can't close the gun unless I push it across again.
