I never thought about that Eric, it should read "buy a Webley and get a Chinese gun". How low can Webley get?

But the thing is, are we talking pistols now? Because didn't Webley move to turkey? Or what am I mixing up now? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 5:20 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Hi Anton Webley is still controlled by a company call ASI in the UK they have just moved the manufacturing to turkey for spring guns, the PCPs are made in Northan Europe. Webley only make or buy in one pistol the typhoon, but they are the UK agents for crosman, and now intend to sell Crosman in the UK, Europe and the Middle East under the name of Webley. Also it appears that Umarex will be selling Webley spring powered guns in Europe along side there other brands.

Webley (the English ones) is one of my favorites. Their closure was a very sad occasion for me. I guess that it will drive up the value of the real (read English) Webleys though. I have mine protected in storage, apart with the springs out and extra parts.   Posted: Sat May 03, 2008 1:52 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND cw wrote: That's too bad.

You want to hang on to that one CW, you'll not get that quality on a Webley springer again Al _________________   Posted: Sat May 03, 2008 3:03 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 I have a .177 Vulcan, a .177 Tempest and a .22 gas Patriot.
