    New Webley Nemesis

    Spotted in the News section of Airgunner this month.

    And this month's Airgun World dropped onto the door mat this morning. I've only managed a very quick flick through so far, but it looks like there's a first test on the new pistol.

    Not a single stroke pneumatic, like its namesake, but a multi-shot CO2.

    Be interesting to see what it's like..

    Oooh !!! Sounds interesting. It will possibly be from the same maker's stable as the really rather good Webley Mk.VI pistol ??? Must go get me a magazine. Cheers for the heads-up.

    I do wish that Highland Outdoors would stop recycling old Webley names for new foreign-made guns. It gets confusing.

    Like BSA Scorpions. I keep opening threads thinking they will be about 1970s spring pistols and finding they are about a Gamo PCP rifle in which I have absolutely no interest.

    I’m betting it’s basically a rebranded version of something already on the market made in Turkey or maybe China.

    Hello, oh Mr tinbum you are not wrong, in the sixties had the 350 and 500. I think that there may be a slight boo boo with the carb. though, the monobloc was much later and it was 60 years ago but I thought they had Amal GP's fitted. Tried a TT on the 350 didnt work very well.
    Regret getting rid of them (for peanuts!) but I would have likely as not killed myself.
    All the best.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    Has anyone got a picture of this from the magazine?

    The suspense is...
    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    Which month's issue, October or November ?
    I went into the Post Office/W H Smith's today and they only had the October issue packaged with a 'free' Airgunner.
    They used to issue them a month in advance so I didn't buy it.

    It's in the October issue of Airgun World. My copy dropped through the letter box on Tuesday, so I'd expect it to hit the shelves anytime now? And it's an exclusive first look at a pre-production example by Phill Price.
