webley hawk

[nimrod177]

I have the opportunity to get my hands on a webley hawk with both barrels. Now my question is, the stock isn't in the best condition but the action and barrels are reasonably good nick. Is it worth the effort of stripping and getting back to reasonable condition? Or just bin it as they are just not worth the hassle.
Any feedback most welcome.

No gun should be binned

What mark is it? I have a mk2 after some easy mods it's made a nice shooter

If you do a search on a topic from me about the Hawk you'll learn thats its a not much loved airrifle.
But if its complete with 2 original barrels, I personally would take the chance anyway.
The mk1s seem to be more liked than later mk2s. Mk3s dont have double barrels anymore.

Go for it.

When I bought mine the stock was a hideous babyshit brown colour and finished in varnish. Some paint stripper, sanding, wood stain and a few goes over with Danish oil and it is a 100% improvements in looks.

It is still a crap rifle (Mk1 with both barrels) but it now looks nice.

ok guys thanks for the help. Will check which mk it is (will it say mk II or III etc.) and give it a go. Not costing me anything so no harm in a play. If nothing else will have two spare barrels for sale!
