Webley Mark VII

[CountryGent]

No that isn't a typo. It looks like they are making new Webley-type revolvers. Except they are 7-shooters and chambered in .357 Magnum. Be still, my beating heart ...





Alas, the going rate starts at $10K.

So we'll probably get it here. After all they need a market. Cool!

I know they cant have them there. Not Cool.

 

[Gaucho Gringo]

At $10,000.00 a piece I don't think many of us will be buying one. Of course if I won the lottery then that's a different story. Looks to a finely crafted gun that anyone would be proud to own. I probably couldn't resist the temptation to shoot it if I owned one.

 

[Tinker Pearce]

Yeah, that price is 'ouchy.' The gun is beautiful though, and a cool idea.

 

[BillM]

That price would be a lot more attractive if there was Fosbery somewhere in the name.

 

[Certaindeaf]

Lame. I doubt they'll last more than 2000 shots.
Speaking of 2000, I'd rather save $2000 and get that new BRNO wizbang elk pistola.

A replica of a Webley-Fosbery would be very sweet indeed. Never going to happen, of course, but still a beautiful thought.

 

[Medic!]

Guess I'm going to have to use my imagination. This is all my budget allows.

So dig those classic top-break revolvers. 'gratz.

I have one on the way (Enfield No. 2). It is supposed to be at the FFL tomorrow.

 

[Medic!]

Mine is nothing so prestigious.

It's an ''Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycle works''. In 38 S&W.
Made not last century. But the one before that.

Damn, Wet Dream Revolver, in one of my all time fav. chambering's too! For that price, sadly I don't see many being sold, but Boy if I hit the ticket, I would order a pair and matching leather holsters to carry them and I would shoot the hell out of them too!
One can dream!

I have something similar. It is an H&R in .38 S&W and it sports real pearl grips. Alas, it does not (reliably) function in single-action mode and I'm concerned about shooting smokeless powder in it these days, so it is a sits stuffed at the back of the gun cabinet. Due to its limited value, vintage, and the mechanical issue, I haven't sold it off. It has crossed my mind to include it in a box of parts to Numrich (I've done that several times over the years), but so far I have not. It is pretty to look at, I guess, but little else.

 

[Medic!]

She is pretty.

Mine is 100% functional. But I have no desire to shoot it.
I just like to own something from then...............................

 

[Ura-Ki]

Sure looks an awful lot like the one I got from Grand Dad, but yours is way prettier then mine! the barrel is rusted out, and the finish is chipped and flaking! Mine has the black "Bake-A-Light" grips on it, and Gramps had cut a set of walnut grips for it and wire tied some parts to the trigger bow, presumably to try to get it in working order. Don't even remember what cal. it is. Was thinking it's .32 but am probably wrong!

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Boy, that's a beautiful revolver!

I swear that when I get one, each and every one of you can shoot it! errr.....you guys are in with me arntcha?

 

[Sgt Nambu]

I'd buy this guy in a heartbeat if I could!

 

[Gaucho Gringo]

I have 3 top breaks in .32 S&W and one in .38 S&W. The .32's are a blued Iver Johnson smokeless powder version that has a bolt and stops, a nickel plated Iver Johnson black powder version and a Forehand model 1901 nickel plated black powder version that looks like it's never shot. The .38 is an H&R nickel plated concealed hammer black powder version. They all lock up tight except for the Forehand which is a little loose but is still shootable. On the 3 that don't have stops the hand is the stop.

An auto-revolver.
Nice.

 

[CountryGent]

It is no way as pretty as the Webley VII. In fact, it could be charitably called utilitarian, I suppose. But since some other top-breaks have made an appearance in this thread, why not this one. Looks aside, I recently put 50 rounds through this old warhorse (Enfield No. 2 Mk 1*) and, well, it still works.





(I thought about standing it up against my briefcase and then I remember we had another British article in the house — a jar of Bovril. Couldn't resist some silliness.)
