Webley Tomahawk Owners

[yorkiets]

I’ve just come into ownership of a lovely Webley Tomahawk in .177 (Birmingham made) but I’m not familiar with Webley springers at all.

Ive shot it briefly and it seems easier to cock than an equivalent Weihrauch and it all seems to function nicely. Very crisp trigger.

Google seems to indicate that these guns were ‘tuned’ by a well known airgun guru at source therefore no further work is needed.

If anyone has one of these or knows whether any fettling can (or should) be done above and beyond the factory work, I’d be grateful for the information.

It might be the Webley Venom Tomahawk.

Look for nice stock ,orange butt pad and high quality blueing.

Smooth to cock and fires with a quiet thunk.

If you see one next to a standard Tomahawk you will know.

Thanks for the info.

Mine is a nice walnut stock, albeit with some superficial signs of use, very deep bluing (much nicer than weihrauch standard bluing) which unbelievably shows no signs of use, but the butt pad is brown, not orange.

From memory if it has a 12 inch barrel it’s the better LW version if it’s 14 inch it’s the in house barrel.

4 models were available. Std, Std walnut, Sidewinder and very rare Cobra. Sidewinder and Cobra had a lazaglide type tune but this tune was also available for customers standard rifles. Mach 1.5

Cheers, is there a way to tell?

The sidewinder as a barrel shroud and the Cobra a blend in slim tech silencer and a stunning walnut stock. All these models were given the wonderful webley blueing. Mach 1.5

Mine has a slim silencer, but no shroud. Maybe a cobra then?

Anyway it’s very nice and I’m looking forward to giving it a good outing.

Maybe best to just leave well alone in terms of stripping / fettling then.

Only 12 Webley Venom Cobra's were made and will be engraved on the breech block to indicate. Mach 1.5

Ah well that settles that then. No engraving on the breech block other than the ‘Webley & Scott made in birmingham...’

Just a standard tomahawk then but with walnut stock and slim silencer.

That takes the pressure off, I can enjoy it now rather than being paranoid about dinging it.

Thanks for the information, mach 1.5, it’s appreciated.

Very underrated webley. Got 3 myself. Regards Mach 1.5

Have you worked on them at all? Any recommendations for fettle or should I leave it be?

Cheers

I haven't worked on them but they are an easy rifle to service. My 3 are webley venom tuned so I haven't needed to do anything with them. Please note parts are getting hard to find for these now but TBT may do a kit as the standard webley spring guide on these is not the best to be honest. Mach 1.5

Great, thanks again.

Do you have a cobra? I’ve just googled it and they are spectacular things. They must be a holy grail gun, only available from cold dead hands.
