Hi all,
Here's a theoretical question for you.
If you found an early made Turkish Webley Longbow, which was made from mainly Brum parts but just assembled by the Turks, would you buy it?

Would you buy a BSA springer that was assembled by Spanish people, some of them possibly women, which was fitted with a Brum made barrel?Originally Posted by look no hands
I imagine it is no worse a sin than buying a Diana from Germany. At least Turkey isn't in the EU.

I'm not worried either way, my Brocock is just as you say above and it's fine in my eyes, I ask the question about the Longbow as a large majority of members on here who have had experience with Turkish Longbows will say they are pretty poor compared to the Brum ones, now I don't know if that's down to the build quality (ie the assembling of the rifle) or the quality and finish of the parts used (ie are they made from monkey metal etc), if it's the latter, then surely one made from quality Brum made parts shouldn't really be that much different than a Brum made one, unless they are that slap happy when making them (ie they don't put enough/too much grease on anything).

I don't know enough about them, Pete, but I'd certainly be taking a punt on one if one came up at the right money.

I was winding Pete up.
Anyone can assemble a Gamo BSA provided they have the abiity and the training.

Not sure about that because I'm damn sure you'd struggle

Mine was the se thumbhole, lovely walnut stock. It was as accurate as my Brum version and the only thing I can remember being much different was the blueing, the brum defo edged that department but thats about from my memories, that said Im no springer guru

This is the sort of insight we need, I sometime wonder if peoples opinions are based on spite because a certain product is now being made by Johnny foreigner abroad and not by the tossed aside original British craftmen, something I can fully understand, at the end of the day as long as the product isn't just thrown together or the materials inferior than the originals (or you open it up and find it full of swarf and lopped off spring ends), like you say above the bluing may be worse but Webley where always known for their excellent bluing and I doubt any of the original equipment and expertise was taken to Turkey either.

Just dismantle and reassemble then it would be made and assembled in UK

Yes.
I mean, I wouldn’t, because I already have a Birmingham one, but if I didn’t have that one, and was looking for a shooter not a collector’s piece, then at the right price it would be a very good buy.
Even the later Turkish ones with the SE thumbhole stock are worth a look if the price is right and you are prepared to do a bit of sorting out if it needs it.

I've had two Turk built longbows the first was a early 2007 rifle and identical to my Brumbow bar the bluing and stamping and was very nice and accurate, the second was from 2009 and was a se thumbhole and was a pile shite the breech bolt hole was two big in the block and the barrel was atroctios also the piston had shaved a ledge in the top of the cylinder from cocking! So beware of these for sure
